Being overlooked in foundational AI decisions despite technical expertise

The situation this course is for

Skilled practitioners often find themselves implementing frameworks they had no hand in shaping. When AI governance standards evolve quickly, those without formal influence risk being sidelined in critical architecture, vendor, and policy decisions, even within their own engagements.

Who this is for

Mid-level technical or compliance professional at a consulting or federal services firm, actively involved in AI, risk, or compliance projects with growing responsibility but not yet a named decision lead

Who this is not for

Executives seeking board-level overviews, developers focused only on model tuning, or vendors selling AI tools without governance integration

What you walk away with

  • Authoritative understanding of ISO 42001’s AI-specific control domains
  • Ability to draft and socialize an AI governance statement of applicability (SoA)
  • Confidence in leading internal AI compliance reviews with peer teams
  • Structured decision tools for vendor AI capability assessments
  • Recognizable fluency in audit-ready AI documentation frameworks
