Who this is for
Business and technology leaders stepping into oversight, strategy, or scaling roles for AI systems
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused only on model development or data engineering without governance responsibilities
What you walk away with

- Design and deploy policies aligned with organizational risk appetite
- Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, compliance, IT, and business units
- Communicate AI governance priorities clearly to executives and boards
