This way, they can limit them by avoiding practices that could be considered illegal or unethical. In addition, privacy violations or data leaks can damage a company’s reputation and cost it dearly. By training in digital ethics, teams can help protect the company’s reputation by avoiding these issues.

FAQ
All courses will be available in replay.
However, it is recommended to attend as many live sessions as possible.
Attending less than 70% of the course will not lead to certification.
The preferred pedagogical method in the program (flipped classroom) is based on the participation of the participants.
Each participant will thus have the opportunity to progress in the development of the project on which they will be evaluated and certified at the end of the program.
Yes. The EDHEC Augmented Law Institute has created a market lawyer’s competency framework that highlights this type of need. In addition, EDHEC’s law department (programs and research) has been collaborating for nearly 30 years with the legal professions and organizations that do not know how to approach the issue of new technologies other than from the angle of the protection of data. Finally, the application of the recent European Union regulations on AI and data will become a significant issue for organizations.
Expect 3 hours of weekly homework, although the workload is not the same at the start of the course and when the personal project is carried out. This is the reason why this project should be as close to your personal (or company) challenges as possible.
This training can be mobilized at different levels within organizations:
- Via the challenge of interoperability: developing new services by sharing innovations
- By the risks: which risks not covered by the organization come under digital ethics?
- Through compliance, ethics, virtue: contribution to these missions of the organization
- By product/project: the organization develops a new product or project involving data processing or artificial intelligence
This involves identifying needs in departments as diverse as marketing, R&D, compliance, legal, board of directors, etc.
Via the button accessible at the bottom of the page, you can:
- Communicate with the training managers for any additional information that would be useful to you (by choosing to be contacted by e-mail or telephone)
- Request a quote, especially if you have to submit the proposal to your employer, or if you are an employer yourself
- Register directly online, providing the requested information. You will then receive by e-mail a confirmation of registration with payment instructions and the training agreement.
