White Label Consultancy, as the only accredited certification body approved by DIFC, is hosting a workshop for organisations navigating the certification requirements for autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems under DIFC’s Regulation 10.

This in-person workshop will provide companies with a comprehensive understanding of the certification process, preparatory requirements, and compliance obligations for AI systems processing personal data in high-risk scenarios.

Why Attend?

DIFC’s Regulation 10 introduces mandatory certification requirements for autonomous systems engaged in high-risk processing activities. Organisations using AI for purposes such as credit scoring, employee monitoring, automated decision-making, or processing special categories of personal data must ensure their systems are certified by an accredited body.

This workshop will equip you with the knowledge and practical insights needed to navigate the certification journey successfully.
