Even well-prepared teams struggle to translate AI risks into board-ready policy language that satisfies both compliance and strategic innovation goals.

The situation this course is for

Boards are asking more sophisticated questions about generative AI, but most policy templates are either too technical or too vague. Leaders need a structured way to design policies that address real risk surfaces while enabling responsible innovation, without slowing down critical initiatives.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior level professionals in governance, risk, compliance, data strategy, or technology leadership roles within regulated organizations who are expected to lead or influence board-level AI policy decisions.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors not involved in policy design, technical AI researchers without governance responsibilities, or vendors selling AI tools without implementation oversight.

What you walk away with

  • Design board-ready generative AI policies that balance innovation with regulatory compliance
  • Map AI use cases to risk categories using a standardized framework
  • Translate technical AI risks into executive-level language for board communication
  • Integrate policy design with existing governance, risk, and compliance workflows
  • Deploy a living policy framework that evolves with AI capabilities and regulatory expectations
