This event is aimed in particular at HR decision-makers, project managers and data protection experts who plan and want to implement AI solutions in their organizations.

Another important topic of the continuing education course is data protection and the rights of employees in accordance with the EU GDPR/BDSG in order to better assess and manage liability risks. The course also covers how to protect existing trade and business secrets and how to select suitable AI tools.
Furthermore, the importance of stakeholder management is highlighted, including convincing management and employees as well as involving the works council at an early stage. Another focus lies on developing communication strategies to reduce fears and concerns of the workforce regarding the use of AI and to promote a positive attitude towards this technology.
An essential component of the continuing education course is the development of a code of conduct for the responsible use of AI in the company, as proposed in the AI Act. This also includes understanding internal mediation as a conflict resolution strategy.
In addition to technical knowledge, the continuing education course also offers the Open Badge as a digital participation certificate that recognizes and certifies the skills acquired.
