Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems are transforming industries, governance, and service delivery, but they raise complex legal and ethical challenges. Liability, data protection, intellectual property, and accountability are critical considerations for the responsible deployment of these technologies.
This course equips participants with practical knowledge of legal, regulatory, and governance aspects of AI and autonomous systems. Participants will explore emerging legal frameworks, compliance requirements, risk mitigation strategies, and accountability mechanisms, ensuring AI adoption aligns with societal, organizational, and operational standards.
The program emphasizes building institutional and operational capacity to manage legal risks, navigate regulatory landscapes, and implement ethical AI practices. Through case studies, scenario analysis, and applied exercises, participants learn to translate legal requirements into actionable organizational policies and governance systems.
