Policy rationales that stall under peer review

The situation this course is for

Even strong governance proposals slow down when teams lack shared reference points. Without documented precedents and sourced logic, every discussion becomes a first-principles debate, consuming bandwidth and delaying alignment.

Who this is for

Senior ICs in major tech firms who influence AI governance without formal authority, relying on technical credibility and cross-functional persuasion

Who this is not for

Managers looking for team-wide compliance playbooks, executives setting top-down mandates, or auditors seeking control checklists

What you walk away with

  • Construct rationale packets for governance positions using real-world analogs from NIST, OECD, and internal precedent
  • Reference specific sections of AI Act, EU DSA, and FTC guidance during design discussions without pausing to look them up
  • Anticipate counterpoints from legal, safety, and infrastructure teams using mapped stakeholder mental models
  • Turn past decisions into reusable reasoning templates with attribution trails
  • Explain tradeoffs between safety, speed, and scalability using documented case comparisons from peer firms
