Cut through the complexity of AI compliance
As AI adoption accelerates across industries, many organizations face a critical dilemma: the pressure to implement AI solutions is intensifying, yet legitimate concerns around data protection, intellectual property, and the new EU AI Act continue to create hesitation. The difference between companies that thrive with AI and those that fall behind often comes down to one factor: knowing how to implement AI confidently within regulatory boundaries.
This two-day program will transform you from being cautious about AI adoption into a confident AI implementation leader. You'll shift from seeing compliance as a barrier to recognizing it as a strategic advantage that enables faster, safer AI deployment. Rather than delaying AI initiatives due to regulatory concerns, you'll leave equipped to accelerate your organization's AI strategy while maintaining appropriate governance.
Built for executives who need actionable strategies rather than technical jargon or academic theory, this program delivers clear guidance on implementing AI safely while protecting your business assets.
You'll learn what the EU AI Act means for your business, how to classify AI applications based on risk, and how to design simple yet effective processes that protect your intellectual property and confidential data while still enabling innovation.
Led by ESMT Berlin faculty, Merantix, and legal experts, this program turns complex regulation into clear business action.
