Course Overview

AI Law & Regulation Essentials is a professional training course designed for individuals and organizations that need to understand the legal, regulatory, privacy, fairness, accountability, and governance risks created by artificial intelligence. As AI systems are increasingly used in business decisions, employment processes, customer services, monitoring, content generation, and automated workflows, organizations must understand how legal exposure can arise even when AI tools appear efficient or technically advanced.

This AI Law & Regulation Essentials course covers the hidden legal risks behind AI decisions, common AI compliance mistakes, the U.S. regulatory landscape, accountability, liability, enforcement, data governance, privacy obligations, surveillance concerns, bias, fairness, civil rights risks, and the future direction of AI law. Participants will also explore issues involving generative AI, copyright, ownership, deepfakes, synthetic media, executive governance responsibilities, and preparation for future regulation.

The curriculum is especially relevant for professionals in compliance, legal, risk management, privacy, HR, internal audit, governance, operations, technology oversight, and executive decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI law refers to the laws, regulations, legal doctrines, regulatory requirements, and enforcement principles that apply to the development, deployment, procurement, and use of artificial intelligence. Depending on the use case, relevant areas can include privacy, consumer protection, employment law, civil rights, intellectual property, cybersecurity, product regulation, and sector-specific requirements.

AI regulation consists of binding rules and regulatory requirements that govern particular AI activities, systems, organizations, or sectors. The requirements can vary by jurisdiction, industry, AI system, use case, and the people affected by the technology.

AI compliance means identifying the legal and regulatory requirements that apply to an organization's AI activities and establishing appropriate processes, controls, documentation, oversight, and monitoring to address those requirements.

AI law establishes legal rules and rights. AI regulation includes specific regulatory requirements and oversight mechanisms. AI governance is the broader organizational system of policies, responsibilities, processes, controls, and oversight used to manage AI.

AGC's AI Governance: Complete Guide to Responsible AI Governance explains how governance coordinates legal, privacy, risk, security, ethics, and operational considerations.

AI can influence employment, lending, healthcare, customer service, content generation, monitoring, and other business activities. These uses can create legal and regulatory exposure involving privacy, discrimination, consumer protection, intellectual property, accountability, and other areas.

Potentially, yes. The use of an AI system does not automatically eliminate an organization's existing legal responsibilities. Depending on the circumstances, responsibility can involve the organization, individuals, vendors, developers, or other parties.

There is no universal answer. Responsibility depends on the facts, applicable law, contracts, the AI system, the organization's role, and the circumstances that produced the harm.

AI liability concerns legal responsibility for harm, loss, discrimination, privacy violations, defective products, misleading conduct, or other consequences associated with an AI system or its use.

Enforcement activity can show how regulators interpret existing requirements and identify areas where AI deployment can create legal exposure. Organizations can use these lessons to strengthen risk assessments, policies, controls, and oversight.

Defensible AI governance means establishing documented, reasonable, and traceable processes for identifying AI risks, assigning responsibility, making decisions, implementing controls, and reviewing outcomes.

AGC's AI Governance Framework: Complete Guide for Organizations explains how governance frameworks translate AI principles into organizational requirements, responsibilities, controls, and oversight.


The course is designed to help professionals understand how AI creates legal, regulatory, privacy, fairness, accountability, liability, and governance risks, with particular attention to the U.S. regulatory environment and emerging issues involving generative AI, copyright, deepfakes, synthetic media, and future AI regulation.
