Public-sector professionals are expected to lead on AI governance, but lack practical, actionable frameworks to turn principles into policy.

The situation this course is for

While ethical AI principles are widely adopted, most public-sector teams struggle to translate them into enforceable, context-specific policies. Gaps in technical literacy, interdepartmental coordination, and implementation planning slow progress and weaken public trust.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior level professionals in public-sector programs, policy leads, compliance officers, program managers, IT governance staff, and innovation leads, who are stepping into AI oversight roles and need structured, field-tested methods to design and operationalize generative AI policy.

Who this is not for

This course is not for individuals seeking theoretical overviews of AI ethics or vendor-specific AI tools. It is also not designed for private-sector-only contexts where public accountability, equity, and regulatory transparency are not central.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a proven 12-step methodology to design generative AI policies tailored to public-sector mandates
  • Classify AI use cases by risk, impact, and compliance requirements using public-interest criteria
  • Align cross-functional stakeholders, from legal to IT to community representatives, around policy priorities
  • Integrate generative AI oversight into existing program governance and audit cycles
  • Deploy a living policy framework that adapts to technical advances and public feedback
