Course Outline
This training deconstructs the legal landscape of the EU AI Act and Swiss nFADP, focusing on the classification of high-risk machinery and the management of transparency obligations.
The curriculum provides a standardized framework for legal and operations teams to collaborate on safeguarding proprietary manufacturing data while maintaining a risk-mitigated, audit-ready Technical File.
The Problem Solved
Decoding the Legal Landscape. Learn to resolve the risk of massive fines through structured risk management. We provide the technical legal framework required to classify, document, and secure industrial AI systems with regulatory precision.
Key Skills & Competencies
1. Risk Classification: Categorizing industrial systems under specific AI Act risk tiers.
2. Technical Documentation Mastery: Building the legally required audit trails for AI.
3. Transparency Management: Handling data privacy (nFADP) within autonomous environments.
Course Modules
1. EU AI Act Foundations. Law and industrial impact. Navigating 2026 legal framework.
2. The High-Risk Inventory. Identifying regulated machinery. Classifying your facility's AI footprint.
3. Audit-Ready Files. Preparing regulatory documentation. Building the Technical File architecture.
4. Human Oversight Protocols. Legally required oversight. Designing compliant "Kill Switch" logic.
5. Maintaining Compliance. Monitoring for longevity. Architecting continuous auditing systems.
Learning objectives and format
By the end of the course, you will be able to master regulatory risk classification and the architecture of compliant industrial technical documentation.
You’ll navigate five modules covering risk tiering, audit-trail construction, and human oversight protocols, transforming legal complexity into a strategic corporate asset and defensive moat.
Key Objectives
- Classify industrial AI applications according to EU regulatory risk tiers
- Architect the Technical Documentation required for high-risk systems
- Implement "Human-in-the-Loop" protocols for autonomous production lines
- Align internal data handling with both nFADP and EU AI Act transparency
- Establish an audit-ready "Technical File" for regulatory inspection
- Mitigate liability risks through proactive AI governance and risk logs
Learning Format
- Analyze regulatory case studies involving industrial-grade AI deployments
- Visualize the compliance roadmap from system design to market launch
- Identify high-risk silos within your specific manufacturing environment
- Draft a compliant "Technical File" structure for an existing AI system
- Test human oversight protocols vs. real-world operational scenarios
- Complete the final assessment to earn your Industrial AI Compliance Specialist certificate
