Even strong governance teams struggle to align legal, compliance, and technical stakeholders on AI frameworks, especially when standards are new and expectations fluid.
The situation this course is for
Without a shared language and implementation roadmap, AI governance risks becoming a checklist exercise, not a lever for influence. Legal leaders are expected to guide without overruling, shape without owning, and anticipate without slowing innovation.
Who this is for
Senior legal and compliance executives in regulated industries who lead policy input, cross-functional alignment, and risk oversight around emerging technology frameworks.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused only on documentation, vendors selling AI tools, or practitioners outside legal/compliance functions.
What you walk away with
- Confidently lead ISO 42001 implementation planning across legal and compliance functions
- Deploy a repeatable internal playbook for AI governance alignment
- Navigate cross-functional pushback with sourced reasoning and precedent examples
- Accelerate consensus on control ownership and audit boundaries
- Establish authority in strategic conversations about AI risk and vendor evaluation
