    Introduction

    Compliance and ethics layer atop governance: GDPR, HIPAA, EU AI Act, SOC 2, plus ethical guidelines (fairness, transparency, accountability).

    Beginner analogy: Like food safety — rules vary by jurisdiction; consequences are real.

    Understanding the topic

    Core concepts to understand:

    • Data: PII redaction, residency, right-to-delete.
    • Bias: test outputs across demographics.
    • Transparency: tell users they're talking to AI.
    • Accountability: log + review high-stakes decisions.
    • Sectoral: HIPAA (health), SOX (finance), FERPA (edu).

    Real-world use

    EU AI Act fines reach 7% of global revenue for non-compliance. HIPAA breaches mean millions per incident.

    Best practices

    • Embed compliance in eval (e.g. PII leak tests).
    • Disclosure UX from day one.
    • Quarterly bias audits.

    Hands-on exercise

    Interview preparation — practice these questions:

    • Q1. EU AI Act core requirements?
    • Q2. HIPAA for AI?
    • Q3. Bias testing — how?
    • Q4. Disclosure UX?
