AI-driven M&A in the public sector lacks consistent risk frameworks, leading to integration delays and compliance exposure.

The situation this course is for

Public-sector programs face increasing pressure to innovate through AI, yet M&A activity introduces complex technical and governance risks. Traditional due diligence doesn't cover algorithmic provenance, model lineage, or ethical AI alignment, creating gaps that surface post-integration. Practitioners need structured, repeatable methods to assess AI assets during transactions.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals leading or advising on public-sector M&A involving AI-enabled systems, especially in compliance, risk governance, digital transformation, and technical leadership roles.

Who this is not for

This is not for consultants selling generic AI audits, entry-level staff without transaction exposure, or vendors promoting off-the-shelf AI tools without integration depth.

What you walk away with

  • Identify high-leverage AI risk factors in pre-acquisition due diligence
  • Apply structured frameworks to assess model integrity, data lineage, and compliance readiness
  • Design integration plans that preserve AI performance while meeting public-sector governance standards
  • Navigate ethical and legal constraints unique to public-sector AI deployment
  • Leverage templates and checklists to accelerate risk assessment and reporting
