Frequently asked
Does this course cover Databricks or Unity Catalog?
No. The course avoids referencing any single vendor platform. It focuses on regulatory implementation patterns applicable across environments.
How is the course structured?
12 modules, each containing 12 chapters (144 chapters total).
Is the AI Act legally enforceable now?
Yes. The AI Act has passed into EU law with staged application starting this cycle. Regulators are already issuing preparatory guidance.
