with the introduction to AI Course

Are you looking to begin learning about artificial intelligence (AI), wanting to understand how it works, and need to know some of the data protection risks and mitigation strategies? Would you like to know what questions to ask your project managers and developers?

If so, then take this one-day course. DPAS founder Nigel Gooding, an expert in data protection and data privacy, has used his 30+ years of experience in data protection – and his academic and practical knowledge of AI and machine learning (ML) – to develop the perfect introduction to AI. This beginner’s course will ease you into the often complicated subject of AI, offering an introductory understanding of how it works, and allowing you to upskill your knowledge in relation to AI and data protection.

The course is also interactive, so you will be encouraged to ask questions throughout, and can share your real-world experiences with other attendees, discussing issues and ideas to help them within their role. With an emphasis on privacy risks and mitigation strategies, this course is designed to help you understand the basic components of AI using a variety of engaging learning techniques, such as videos, quizzes, and scenarios.

When you train with us at DPAS, you’ll get more than just the training. We’ll provide you with free policies, templates, and tools after the course has concluded. We will also supply you with the relevant resources to help you throughout.

Also included is an e-book copy of Mastering AI: A Guide for Data Protection Practitioners, written by Nigel Gooding
