Policies that don’t align with operational reality create friction, delay, and compliance gaps

The situation this course is for

Public-sector teams are launching generative AI pilots faster than policy can keep up. Without structured design methods, policies become either too rigid to implement or too vague to govern, leading to rework, audit findings, or public trust issues. Practitioners need a systematic way to design policy that’s both technically sound and institutionally viable.

Who this is for

Policy designers, technology leads, and program managers in public-sector organizations who are responsible for launching or governing generative AI initiatives

Who this is not for

This course is not for vendors selling AI tools, academic researchers focused on theory, or individuals seeking certification in general AI ethics without implementation goals

What you walk away with

  • Design generative AI policies that are actionable, auditable, and adaptable
  • Classify AI use cases by risk tier and regulatory exposure
  • Integrate compliance requirements into policy architecture from inception
  • Produce documentation that satisfies oversight bodies and builds public trust
  • Lead cross-functional teams through AI policy development with confidence
