AI Workshops.
For teams that act.

Hands-on training on the EU AI Act, GDPR, AI literacy and prompt engineering. We bring AI competence into your team: from compliance proof to productive AI use.

EU AI Act GDPR AI Literacy Prompt Engineering

// Why now

The clock is ticking.
The AI Act is in force.

with no AI routine

Since February 2025, Art. 4 of the EU AI Act has applied: anyone who operates or oversees AI systems must have sufficient AI competence. This affects not only IT teams, but everyone who comes into contact with AI.

Violations are penalised with fines of up to EUR 35 million or 7% of annual turnover. This is not an optional nice-to-have. It is applicable law. Our workshops deliver the AI competence your company needs.

// 4 Workshop Modules

What we
train.

WKSHP_01

EU AI Act Compliance

Risk classification, documentation obligations, conformity assessment. Your team understands the regulatory requirements and knows what has to be done by when.

Risk classes Documentation CE readiness
WKSHP_02

GDPR & Data Protection

Data protection impact assessment, data processing agreements, data subject rights in an AI context. Hands-on, not abstract, built around your real workflows.

DPIA DPA Data subject rights
WKSHP_03

AI Literacy

What can AI do? What can't it? How do I spot hallucinations? Your team learns to critically assess AI outputs and use them responsibly.

Fundamentals Risk assessment Responsibility
WKSHP_04

Prompt Engineering

From the basic prompt to the multi-step workflow. Hands-on training with real business use cases — not generic examples.

Prompting Workflows Use cases

// Workshop Flow

How your
workshop runs.

STEP_01

Needs Analysis

We assess your AI maturity, identify knowledge gaps and define learning objectives. No off-the-shelf workshop.

STEP_02

Custom Agenda

Based on the analysis, we build a tailored agenda: with your tools, your processes, your use cases.

STEP_03

Live Training

Interactive training with hands-on sessions. Theory meets practice: your people work on real scenarios.

STEP_04

Follow-up

Documentation, handout and a summary of the key content. Optional: a follow-up session after 4 weeks.

// Why us

Not Big Four.
Big Impact.

Speed

No six-month proposal. Intro call, needs analysis, workshop — in weeks, not quarters. The same people who advise also train.

Fair Pricing

Big consultancies start at 500K. We deliver hands-on training for a fraction of that, without junior consultants interviewing your team.

Practice, not theory

No generic AI slides. Your tools, your processes, your use cases. Hands-on instead of a PowerPoint marathon.

DACH Expertise

Munich-based. German law, GDPR, EU AI Act — we know the nuances and speak the language of your compliance department.

// AI competence as strategy

Why AI workshops
for companies?

Teams that truly understand AI rather than just using it make better decisions, automate more smartly and stay compliant. The technology is rarely the problem. A lack of AI competence in the team almost always is.

// Competitive advantage

AI competence as a
competitive advantage

84 percent of Fortune 500 companies already use AI — not as an experiment, but as an operational lever. In the DACH region adoption is slower, but the pressure is rising: anyone who doesn't integrate AI into their processes loses speed, margin and talent.

The key insight: the bottleneck is never the tool. The bottleneck is the team. ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini — the tools are there. What's missing is the ability to use them properly: with context, critical judgement and an understanding of limits and risks.

An AI workshop for companies is not a one-off. It's the starting shot for a sustainable transformation: teams don't just learn individual prompts. They develop an AI mindset that carries over into every area — from marketing and HR to the executive board.

84%
of Fortune 500 companies use AI productively according to industry surveys, beyond pilot projects.
72%
of employees name a lack of AI training in surveys as the biggest blocker to productive AI use.

What teams can do after
the AI training

No abstract certificate that vanishes in a drawer. After an AI training from AI Pirates, your teams are ready to act — with clear skills they can apply the very next working day.

Structure prompts professionally: no guessing, but systematic work. Roles, context, format, constraints.

Critically assess AI outputs — spot hallucinations, judge quality, and avoid developing blind dependence.

Work GDPR-compliant: which data may go into which tools, how data processing works, what stays internal.

Automate their own workflows — from content creation to data preparation. Make time savings measurable.

Meet EU AI Act requirements: prove AI literacy under Art. 4, know and classify risk classes.

Communicate AI use internally — change management for AI, building acceptance in the team, bringing sceptical colleagues on board.

Build AI readiness in a structured way: not ad hoc, but with a roadmap, priorities and measurable milestones.

Prioritise and pilot use cases — which AI projects really deliver ROI, which are hype. Make well-founded decisions.

CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION

Compliance proof
under Art. 4 EU AI Act

All intensive and enterprise workshops conclude with a certificate of participation. It documents the content delivered and serves as proof of the AI literacy obligation under Art. 4 of the EU AI Act — a tangible compliance building block.
