AI governance feels slow, abstract, and owned by tech teams, but HR owns the biggest risk surfaces in hiring, retention, and performance.
The situation this course is for
HR leaders are expected to contribute to AI governance but aren’t given clear methods to translate policy into action. Existing templates are built for engineering, not talent systems. That leads to delays, misalignment, and last-minute scrambles when auditors ask for evidence.
Who this is for
HR Business Partner in a regulated or tech-forward enterprise, expected to implement AI governance but lacking tailored frameworks.
Who this is not for
Engineering leads implementing AI code controls, or legal teams drafting AI use policies without HR system integration.
What you walk away with
- Produce ISO 42001-compliant AI governance documentation for HR systems in under two weeks
- Anticipate and satisfy internal audit requirements on AI use in talent tools
- Structure cross-functional alignment between HR, legal, and tech on AI controls
- Turn high-level AI policy into specific, implementable HR workflows
- Reduce rework by using a repeatable playbook for future AI initiatives
