Before you sign up

For public servants who want a quick orientation on AI in public services, including the European Interoperability Framework and the basics of the EU AI Act and Interoperable Europe Act. It's short (the page says less than an hour) and free with a certificate of completion. The caveats: it's a starting point rather than in-depth training, it's written for EU public administrations, and you need an EU Login account. For a general free start, try AI Foundations from OpenAI Academy.

What you'll learn
