Who this is for

Technical analyst in a data and AI platform company, certified in platform governance, operating as an individual contributor with influence pathways into compliance and architecture teams

Who this is not for

Leadership seeking executive summaries, engineers focused only on model deployment, or compliance staff handling audit paperwork without technical depth

What you walk away with

  • Define the boundaries of AI governance ownership using OECD AI Principles as anchor points
  • Establish consistent interpretation rules for technical teams referencing the framework
  • Own the decision log for what is in scope or out of scope for AI governance reviews
  • Create reusable templates that institutionalize your interpretation across projects
  • Gain recognition as the source of truth for OECD AI Principles implementation in technical contexts

Before vs. after

Before
Governance decisions emerge reactively, with inconsistent application and frequent rework due to unclear ownership.
After
