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 cautious boards are being asked to sign off on AI initiatives, but few have clear, practical frameworks to assess model risk responsibly.

The situation this course is for

AI models are being deployed faster than governance can keep up. Risk-adverse boards need clear, repeatable methods to evaluate model performance, fairness, and compliance, but most frameworks are either too technical or too vague to act on. This gap leaves responsible leaders without the tools to say 'yes' confidently or 'no' convincingly.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior level professionals in risk management, internal audit, compliance, legal, data governance, or technology leadership who influence or prepare AI-related board reporting and controls.

Who this is not for

Data scientists focused solely on model building, entry-level analysts without board-facing responsibilities, or consultants selling generic AI ethics frameworks without implementation depth.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a structured model risk classification system aligned with board risk appetite
  • Produce audit-ready documentation for AI model validation and monitoring
  • Communicate model risk trade-offs clearly to non-technical executives and directors
  • Implement controls that satisfy both regulatory expectations and internal audit requirements
  • Lead AI governance initiatives with confidence, even in highly risk-averse environments
