Even well-designed AI models can fail in public-sector contexts without proper risk controls, leading to loss of trust, compliance gaps, and operational disruption.

The situation this course is for

Public-sector AI initiatives often move fast to meet civic demands, but without structured model risk management, they risk non-compliance, reputational exposure, and inefficient scaling. Teams lack clear frameworks to assess, document, and govern model behavior across lifecycles, especially under audit or public scrutiny.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals working at the intersection of AI, compliance, and public-sector delivery, involved in deploying or overseeing AI systems where accountability and safety are critical.

Who this is not for

This is not for academic researchers, pure data scientists without governance responsibilities, or vendors focused solely on model development without deployment oversight.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a structured model risk management framework aligned with public-sector requirements
  • Classify and tier AI models by risk impact and compliance sensitivity
  • Design validation protocols that satisfy internal and external audit expectations
  • Implement monitoring controls that detect model drift, bias, and performance decay
  • Produce documentation packages that support transparency and stakeholder trust

  • You need to document and justify model decisions to stakeholders
  • You're scaling AI use and need consistent governance

Before vs. after

Before
Unclear how to structure AI model risk controls, lacking standardized practices, reacting to issues instead of preventing them, struggling to justify decisions to auditors or the public.
After
