Are you struggling to make sense of complex AI and online platform regulations? Although EU rules in this area are widely discussed, applying them in practice can be challenging. You may know they apply to your organisation or work yet still find it difficult to determine what they require in concrete situations or how the obligations work in practice.
From understanding their purpose and logic, scope and obligations, to what compliance and enforcement look like in practice, this programme provides a structured approach to reading and interpreting the regulations. It consists of two courses, one dedicated to the EU AI Act, one to the Digital Services Act. The programme is well suited to those who need to demonstrate their regulatory literacy and provide evidence of their understanding of these frameworks.
The course on the EU AI Act follows its core architecture: understanding its scope and regulated actors across the AI value chain, applying its risk-based approach from prohibited practices to high-risk obligations and transparency duties and examining the new governance system. You will learn the practical compliance logic for high-risk AI systems and the course also covers General Purpose AI (GPAI).
The course on the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) covers its core concepts and the operational reality of platform governance and its challenges. Regulating platforms under the DSA goes far beyond removing illegal content. The DSA introduces procedural safeguards and transparency obligations that make platform decisions contestable and reviewable. You will learn about notice-and-action mechanisms, transparency reporting, systemic risk obligations, and what compliance looks like in practice for platforms, researchers, regulators and civil society. The course also explains why data access is central to evidence-based enforcement and research under the DSA.
By the end of the programme, you will be able to interpret key legal requirements, connect concepts to concrete situations and processes, evaluate compliance and critically engage in the political and regulatory debates shaping Europe’s digital landscape.
