Compliance with EU Regulations

Welcome to this important lesson on Compliance with EU Regulations regarding high-risk AI systems in education. As educators and administrators, understanding the legal landscape surrounding the use of AI in our institutions is crucial not only for compliance but also for fostering a safe and ethical learning environment.

In this lesson, we will delve into two key topics that play a pivotal role in ensuring that AI systems adhere to the EU’s regulations:

1. High-risk AI in Education: We will explore what constitutes high-risk AI systems within the educational context, focusing on the potential implications these systems may have on student safety, health, and fundamental rights. The EU’s definition of high-risk AI is informed by its intended purpose and the associated risks, particularly those systems that utilize profiling and monitoring techniques.

2. Transparency Requirements: Transparency is a cornerstone of ethical AI usage, especially in educational settings. We will discuss the specific transparency obligations that high-risk AI systems must meet, including the need for clear communication about how these systems operate and the potential risks they pose. This also encompasses understanding the implications of AI systems that may inadvertently engage in impersonation or deception.

As we navigate through the complexities of these regulatory requirements, it’s important to recognize the broader impact of AI on our roles as educators and leaders. By the end of this lesson, you will be better equipped to assess and implement AI systems in compliance with EU regulations, ultimately enhancing educational outcomes while prioritizing the rights and safety of our learners.
