About This Course

Deploying AI systems introduces complex risks around fairness, transparency, accountability, and privacy. In England and Wales, organizations must rely on strong DPIA processes to understand and manage these risks—especially as EU AI Act obligations increasingly affect UK businesses selling into the European market.

This webinar provides a practical, step-by-step look at how Data Protection Impact Assessments can be used to evaluate and govern AI-enabled systems. You will learn how to structure a DPIA for AI, assess risk levels, document decisions, and build robust safeguards, including human oversight. Ideal for legal, compliance, data protection, and risk professionals seeking a hands-on, operational approach.

Major topics covered in this course include:

  • The function of DPIAs in demonstrating accountability and minimizing liability under GDPR.
  • Comparative analysis of the EU AI Act and the UK regulatory framework.
  • Identifying high-risk processing activities that make DPIAs mandatory.
  • Mitigating specific AI risks such as bias, discrimination, and hallucinations.
  • Best practices for data minimization, security, and establishing lawful bases for processing.
  • Strategies for implementing effective human oversight and creating internal AI usage guidelines.
