12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Even well-intentioned AI initiatives can falter without clear ethical guardrails and audit-ready processes.
The situation this course is for
Audit teams are increasingly called on to assess AI systems, but lack structured, practical frameworks to evaluate fairness, accountability, and transparency. Traditional compliance tools don’t translate to machine learning contexts, creating confusion, rework, and hesitation at critical decision points.
Who this is for
Business and technology professionals in audit, compliance, risk, and product management who are responsible for overseeing or implementing AI systems with ethical rigor.
Who this is not for
This is not for data scientists focused solely on model tuning, nor for executives seeking high-level overviews without implementation detail.
What you walk away with
- Apply a structured framework to audit AI systems for ethical compliance
- Identify and mitigate bias in training data and model outputs
- Align product development cycles with ethical review checkpoints
- Communicate AI risks and controls effectively to non-technical stakeholders
- Build and maintain a living AI ethics playbook tailored to audit needs
