Data and Technology Regulation and Governance

Introduksjon

This course provides comprehensive insight into the fundamental concepts of data and technology regulation, ethics, and governance in modern business. As organisations increasingly rely on advanced data analytics, AI, and algorithmic decision-making, it is no longer sufficient to solely view data through the lens of privacy compliance. This course examines the broader legal, ethical, and societal challenges posed by emerging technologies.

With a practical, business-oriented perspective, the course offers an introduction to technology governance. Students will explore how to ethically manage data and algorithms as powerful tools in modern work environments, and how to navigate key legislative frameworks such as the GDPR or the EU AI Act. Furthermore, the course introduces students to real-world engagement with policymakers, discussing modes of operation and analytical tools through a stylized lifecycle of policy advisory.
