AI systems are growing faster than the ability to track their data origins and decisions across departments.

The situation this course is for

Without clear data lineage, cross-functional AI programs face delays, compliance exposure, and erosion of stakeholder trust, even when models perform well technically.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals leading or supporting AI deployment across data, engineering, risk, compliance, or product functions in mid-to-large organizations.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists focused solely on model development in isolation, or for executives seeking high-level AI overviews without implementation detail.

What you walk away with

  • Map end-to-end data provenance for AI systems across departments
  • Align lineage practices with regulatory and audit requirements
  • Design governance workflows that scale across programs
  • Anticipate and mitigate drift, bias, and compliance gaps through proactive lineage tracking
  • Lead cross-functional alignment on data accountability and ownership
