You're expected to move fast with AI, but can't compromise audit trails, validation, or system integrity.
The situation this course is for
As a software engineer in a highly regulated space, adopting generative AI feels risky. You're under pressure to accelerate development, but every shortcut threatens compliance. Prompts go undocumented, code changes lack traceability, and validation cycles balloon. You need a framework that keeps AI use fast, innovative, and fully accountable, without slowing down delivery.
Who this is for
Software engineers in regulated industries who use or are expected to use generative AI in development, testing, or deployment, but must maintain compliance with standards like 21 CFR Part 11.
Who this is not for
Hobbyists, non-technical leaders, or engineers in unregulated sectors who don't need audit-ready AI workflows.
What you walk away with
- Deploy generative AI safely within validated systems
- Maintain full traceability from prompt to production
- Automate documentation for compliance audits
- Reduce rework from noncompliant AI outputs
- Integrate AI into CI/CD pipelines without breaking validation
