Procuring AI tools without compliance-by-design risks regulatory exposure and integration failure

The situation this course is for

Teams in regulated sectors often adopt AI solutions that look promising but fail under audit, lack proper data controls, or create unintended compliance gaps. The absence of a structured procurement framework leads to rework, stalled projects, and increased oversight scrutiny.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, education, energy, government) responsible for AI adoption, risk management, procurement, or compliance governance

Who this is not for

This is not for developers seeking technical AI build skills or vendors marketing AI tools. It's not for unregulated startups prioritizing speed over compliance.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a repeatable AI procurement framework aligned with compliance standards
  • Evaluate AI vendors using audit-ready assessment criteria
  • Map regulatory requirements to technical and contractual controls
  • Design procurement contracts with enforceable data and model governance clauses
  • Lead cross-functional AI adoption with confidence and compliance clarity
