Senior leaders are expected to govern AI, but most lack the audit-aligned playbooks to do so effectively.

The situation this course is for

Leaders across sectors are being asked to lead on AI governance, yet struggle to translate ethical principles into policies that pass compliance reviews or satisfy auditors. Without structured, tested frameworks, teams default to generic guidelines that lack enforcement pathways or audit alignment, leaving organizations exposed and leaders overstretched.

Who this is for

Senior leaders in business or technology roles responsible for AI governance, risk management, compliance, or digital transformation, particularly those preparing for internal audits, board reporting, or regulatory engagement around AI use.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors without decision-making authority, technical AI researchers focused solely on model development, or consultants seeking certification rather than implementation tools.

What you walk away with

  • Design generative AI policies that align with current audit standards and regulatory expectations
  • Apply a risk-tiered framework to prioritize policy enforcement across use cases
  • Integrate compliance checkpoints into AI deployment workflows
  • Build audit trails and documentation that support internal and external reviews
  • Lead cross-functional AI governance initiatives with confidence and clarity
