12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Complex data ecosystems make it difficult to trace AI-driven decisions back to source systems with confidence

The situation this course is for

As AI systems increasingly influence reporting, compliance, and customer outcomes, the inability to map data provenance erodes trust, slows audits, and increases operational risk. Traditional lineage tools fail under the volume, velocity, and transformation layers introduced by modern AI pipelines.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in established enterprises leading data governance, compliance, AI integration, or IT modernization initiatives

Who this is not for

This course is not for individuals seeking introductory data management concepts or academic overviews of AI ethics. It is not designed for startups with minimal regulatory exposure or teams using only basic analytics tools.

What you walk away with

  • Design AI-aware data lineage architectures aligned with enterprise scale and compliance needs
  • Map and document data flows across hybrid and multi-cloud environments with precision
  • Integrate lineage tracking into MLOps and data pipeline workflows
  • Produce audit-ready lineage reports for regulators and internal stakeholders
  • Lead cross-functional implementation using proven templates and governance models
