Policies that sound good on paper but fail during implementation
The situation this course is for
Leaders are expected to govern AI systems they didn’t build, using frameworks that don’t reflect real-world operational complexity. Traditional compliance templates lack specificity for generative AI behaviors, creating gaps in accountability, security, and alignment.
Who this is for
Senior leaders in technology, compliance, risk, governance, or product roles responsible for guiding AI adoption with confidence
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused only on model development, or teams seeking high-level AI awareness training
What you walk away with
- Design policies that integrate seamlessly with engineering workflows
- Classify and tier AI risk by business impact and technical exposure
- Align legal, security, and product teams around a shared governance model
- Produce audit-ready documentation that satisfies regulators and boards
- Adapt policies dynamically as AI capabilities evolve
