EU AI Act Prohibited Practices: Screening Your Systems Against the Article 5 Bans

This online course examines the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act and its restrictions on prohibited practices outlined in Article 5. Designed for professionals working with AI systems, including developers, compliance officers, and legal specialists, the course explains how to identify and prevent violations of these important regulations. Learners will explore the specific banned activities that the Act prohibits, such as social scoring systems and real-time biometric identification in public spaces. The curriculum covers practical methods for screening existing systems against these restrictions, helping participants understand the legal framework that governs AI development and deployment within EU markets.

The course consists of fifteen detailed lessons, each followed by a quiz to test understanding of key concepts. Students complete a final examination that assesses their ability to apply the Act’s provisions to real-world scenarios. All course materials are available at no cost, making AI compliance education accessible to a wider audience. Upon completion, learners can confidently evaluate their organisation’s AI systems for potential violations, implement necessary screening processes, and contribute to maintaining legal compliance when developing or deploying artificial intelligence technologies.
