12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Policies that look strong on paper but fail under audit scrutiny undermine trust and stall innovation.

The situation this course is for

Public-sector teams are launching AI pilots faster than policy frameworks can keep up. Without structured, audit-tested design methods, even well-intentioned policies risk non-compliance, operational friction, or public accountability gaps. Practitioners need a systematic way to align AI governance with real-world oversight expectations , before deployment.

Who this is for

Compliance leads, program managers, IT governance professionals, and policy designers in public-sector institutions implementing or overseeing generative AI tools.

Who this is not for

This is not for vendors selling AI tools, academic researchers, or individuals seeking high-level AI awareness without implementation focus.

What you walk away with

  • Design generative AI policies that pass internal and external audit review
  • Integrate compliance requirements from privacy, equity, accessibility, and records management into policy architecture
  • Use structured templates to document policy intent, enforcement, and review cycles
  • Anticipate auditor expectations and build evidence trails proactively
  • Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, IT, and program teams on AI governance
