The module focuses on specific contexts where the use of AI is subject to particular regulation. The use of AI in healthcare and well-being technologies is regulated in many ways. The module also covers the regulations related to the use of AI in marketing.
In addition, participants will learn about the legal risks and opportunities of using AI in recruitment.
