Struggling to influence AI governance from an engineering seat?

The situation this course is for

Engineers are expected to implement AI controls but rarely given the framework fluency to shape them. The result: misaligned requirements, rework, and missed influence on high-impact projects.

Who this is for

Senior Software Engineer at a regulated services firm, working on AI/ML deployment or system architecture with compliance touchpoints

Who this is not for

Entry-level developers, product managers without technical depth, or leaders seeking board-level talking points

What you walk away with

  • Translate ISO 42001 clauses into concrete engineering decisions
  • Justify architecture choices using governance language stakeholders accept
  • Lead internal working sessions on AI compliance without waiting for external prompts
  • Reduce friction in audit cycles by embedding control evidence into CI/CD pipelines
  • Position yourself as the go-to engineer for AI governance integration
