The Story

These courses aim to help companies understand and adhere to the EU AI Act before its 2026 enforcement deadline.

Why It Matters

The EU AI Act is not a distant problem. Companies like Mintra are already creating training to help businesses meet compliance requirements well ahead of August 2026. For a European pharma, legal, or logistics firm with 50-200 employees, this means formalizing AI governance and training staff on responsible AI use now. You need a clear understanding of what AI tools you use, how they are deployed, and who is accountable.

What To Do About It

Start by auditing your existing AI use, even if it's just Copilot in Microsoft 365. Document who uses which tools and for what. Then, identify a responsible person to lead your internal AI compliance training and policy development. I can offer a framework for this initial audit and governance plan.
