AI adoption is accelerating, but validation processes remain inconsistent, reactive, or absent, putting compliance at odds with innovation.

The situation this course is for

Compliance officers are increasingly asked to assess AI-driven tools without clear frameworks, documented protocols, or alignment to regulatory expectations. This leads to delayed deployments, audit exposure, and misalignment across legal, risk, and technology teams.

Who this is for

A mid-to-senior level compliance, risk, or governance professional in a technology-driven or regulated organization who is expected to evaluate or oversee AI system deployments.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists focused on model building, nor for executives seeking high-level AI strategy overviews. It is designed specifically for practitioners responsible for validation, documentation, and compliance assurance.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a structured validation framework to any AI system, from chatbots to underwriting models
  • Document control points that satisfy internal audit and external regulatory expectations
  • Align validation workflows with ISO, NIST, and sector-specific compliance requirements
  • Lead cross-functional validation efforts with engineering and product teams
  • Build a repeatable playbook for ongoing AI system review and monitoring
