Overview

Prepare Your Workforce for the AI-Driven Future

As AI becomes more embedded in the workplace, it brings both significant opportunities and complex challenges. While AI tools can boost productivity and streamline operations, they also pose risks related to data security and legal compliance.

These risks affect not only individuals but the organisation as a whole. However, with the right preventative measures, including comprehensive AI literacy training for all staff, organisations can effectively manage these risks.

The EU AI Act requires organisations in Ireland to ensure their staff attain a sufficient level of AI literacy.

The training supports compliance with the EU AI Act and data protection legislation while promoting a culture of responsible AI use.

To enhance our ability to provide cutting-edge learning solutions, we have integrated AI tools for eLearning into this course.
