Although this course is primarily aimed at participants from German companies, participants from Switzerland can also benefit from it.
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) is also relevant for many companies in Switzerland. As soon as AI systems are offered in the EU, their results are used in the EU, or business relationships with EU customers exist, the provisions of the EU AI Act may apply directly or indirectly. The course provides a solid understanding of the key requirements, risk categories, and governance obligations of the EU AI Act and helps Swiss participants assess regulatory developments early on and incorporate them strategically.
However, the seminar focuses on the EU regulatory perspective. Swiss-specific aspects – such as the integration into the revised Data Protection Act (revDPA) or an exclusively national implementation without EU reference – are not covered in depth. The course is therefore particularly suitable as an overview and orientation training on the EU AI Act, not as a specific guide for a purely Swiss legal implementation.
