ISBN 978-3-87440-408-2

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing our everyday lives and the economy - but what exactly is AI? And how do politicians and companies regulate this powerful technology? This book provides an easy-to-understand introduction to the world of AI and shows which legal and ethical requirements must be observed when using it:

- Technical basics of AI
- The regulation of artificial intelligence in Europe
- Data Governance Act and Data Act
- ISO/IEC 42001 and IDW PS 861
- Important tools and organizations in the field of AI

The focus is on the European AI Act, international standards such as ISO/IEC 42001 and the responsible handling of data. In practical discussions, three experts shed light on the opportunities, risks and specific requirements for companies - in an understandable, clear and well-founded manner. A guide for anyone who wants to use AI safely and in compliance with regulations.

Here's how DANA reviews our book on AI regulation

An Easy-to-Understand Introduction to the EU AI Act – Endorsed by DANA

Datenschutz Nachrichten (DANA) has also provided a professional assessment of our book “AI Regulation Made Easy—AI Competence under Article 4 of the EU AI Act.” The review particularly highlights the book’s systematic structure, which provides beginners with an accessible introduction to the legal, technical, and ethical foundations of artificial intelligence. The review also positively notes the conversational style, the clear guiding principles at the end of each chapter, and the practical overview of standards, roles such as the AI officer, and the requirements of the EU AI Act.

Practical experience, not legal provisions—that’s what makes our book stand out at FCH

FCH Group: A Practical Guide to AI Regulation

The FCH Group has also reviewed our book “AI Regulation—Made Easy: AI Competence Under Article 4 of the EU AI Act”—and received it with enthusiasm. The review particularly highlights how the authors succeed in distilling the complexity of the EU AI Act down to its essentials without losing sight of its practical application in business. Rather than merely listing legal provisions, the book uses practical, dialogue-based modules to explain how innovations can be designed in a legally sound manner. Especially for decision-makers and teams who want to understand and use AI confidently, the book offers concrete guidance rather than legal confusion.
