Policies that look good on paper but fail under audit or real-world use
The situation this course is for
Mid-market organizations in regulated sectors are moving fast with generative AI, but their policy frameworks lag. Generic templates don’t address sector-specific compliance needs, and fragmented ownership leads to gaps in enforcement, accountability, and scalability. Without a structured, cross-functional approach, even well-intentioned policies become liabilities during audits or incidents.
Who this is for
Compliance officers, risk managers, IT governance leads, data stewards, and technology executives in mid-market organizations within healthcare, education, financial services, government contracting, or other regulated domains
Who this is not for
Entry-level staff without policy decision authority, vendors selling AI tools, or professionals focused only on AI model development without governance responsibilities
What you walk away with
- Design audit-ready generative AI policies aligned with regulatory frameworks
- Implement role-based access and accountability structures for AI use
- Create risk-tiered classification systems for AI applications
- Integrate AI policy with existing data governance and security programs
- Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, IT, compliance, and business units
