Being consulted reactively instead of leading the AI governance conversation
The situation this course is for
Strong technical insight and strategic training aren't enough if your voice isn't the one sought in critical AI governance discussions. Without deliberate positioning, even the most capable practitioners get looped in too late or treated as validators rather than architects.
Who this is for
Senior product leader at a data and AI platform company, MIT-educated, operating at the intersection of innovation and compliance, aiming to lead on responsible AI without stepping into a formal policy role.
Who this is not for
Junior compliance analysts, entry-level product managers, or practitioners without decision-influence in AI product governance.
What you walk away with
- Lead AI risk assessments using the NIST AI RMF framework with confidence and precision
- Produce clear governance artefacts that align engineering, legal, and executive stakeholders
- Anticipate regulator and auditor expectations in AI system documentation
- Position yourself as the go-to voice on AI accountability within your organisation
- Deploy repeatable governance patterns across product iterations
