The European Union´s AI Act is poised to become a landmark regulatory framework, set to redefine how businesses develop, deploy, and use Artificial Intelligence technologies across all industries. The far-reaching implications are not limited to the EU; companies worldwide that engage with Artificial Intelligence will be obliged to adapt their processes, products, and compliance strategies to meet this new regulatory gold standard. To support organizations navigating this shift, HEC Paris is hosting a Reskill Masterclass featuring HEC Paris Law Professor Pablo Marcello Baquero, who will demystify the act´s complexities and provide practical guidance for alignment.
In the upcoming online session, Professor Baquero will analyze the legal and operational frameworks of the AI Act. Key topics include how the regulation classifies Artificial Intelligence systems, especially the determination of ´high-risk´ categories, and the main compliance obligations businesses face. The session will also clarify the evolving technical standards, enforcement protocols, and what these changes mean for both innovation and day-to-day business operations. Strategic advice will be offered to help organizations proactively prepare, regardless of whether they are currently developing, implementing, or simply using Artificial Intelligence solutions in their operations.
The masterclass is tailored for a wide audience, including business leaders, compliance officers, legal counsels, tech entrepreneurs, product managers, policy analysts, consultants, and anyone interested in the nexus of law, innovation, and Artificial Intelligence. Importantly, no legal background is needed to participate; the focus is on accessibility and actionable insights. Professor Baquero brings robust expertise as an Assistant Professor at HEC Paris and Fellow at the Hi! Paris Center on Data Analytics and AI, with research spanning technology law, blockchain, and inclusive digital policy. This event forms part of the HEC Paris Reskill Masterclass series, designed to equip professionals with the latest academic insights and practical strategies for business transformation in a fast-changing landscape.
