The course

Where the data goes, and which law applies.

Choosing a model is not only about the quality of the answers. What also matters is the jurisdiction the data answers to, the licence, and whether the model can run inside the organisation.

Who it is for. Those who decide on tools and infrastructure in a company or a professional practice.
