12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Even well-structured M&A deals are exposing hidden AI liabilities that surface only post-integration, costing time, trust, and regulatory standing.

The situation this course is for

In regulated industries, AI systems acquired through M&A often lack documentation, audit trails, or clear ownership. This creates silent compliance gaps, model risk exposure, and integration delays. Traditional due diligence frameworks don’t capture these risks systematically, leaving teams reactive instead of prepared.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, risk leads, integration managers, and technology executives in financial services, healthcare, energy, and other regulated sectors involved in or supporting M&A activity.

Who this is not for

This course is not for software developers building AI models or data scientists tuning algorithms. It is not for professionals outside regulated industries or those not involved in transactional due diligence or integration planning.

What you walk away with

  • Systematically identify AI-related risks during pre-acquisition due diligence
  • Evaluate target AI systems for compliance, bias, and operational resilience
  • Map AI assets to regulatory obligations across jurisdictions
  • Develop risk-weighted integration plans with clear handoff protocols
  • Lead cross-functional teams with confidence using standardized assessment templates

How this maps to your situation

  • You're supporting a current M&A deal and need to assess AI risk quickly
  • You're building internal capability for future transactions
  • You're advising leadership on AI-related due diligence gaps
  • You're integrating acquired systems and uncovering undocumented AI

Before vs. after

Before
AI systems in M&A are treated as black boxes, assessed informally, if at all, leading to surprises post-close and weakened integration outcomes.
After
Your team applies a structured, repeatable framework to identify, evaluate, and manage AI risk, turning due diligence into a strategic advantage.
