AI systems are scaling fast, but compliance teams lack clear, actionable methods to assess bias in practice.

The situation this course is for

Compliance officers are expected to oversee AI risk, yet most guidance is theoretical or technically inaccessible. Without practical tools, teams default to checklists that don’t catch real model harms. This creates inefficiency, inconsistent assessments, and potential regulatory exposure down the line.

Who this is for

Compliance, risk, and governance professionals in financial services, healthcare, education, or public sector organizations adopting AI. Technically fluent, process-oriented, and responsible for audit readiness and regulatory alignment.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists focused on model development or executives seeking high-level AI governance overviews. It is designed specifically for those executing compliance reviews of AI systems.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a repeatable framework for identifying and testing AI bias in production models
  • Select and implement fairness metrics aligned with regulatory expectations
  • Conduct data stratification and slicing to uncover hidden disparities
  • Document bias testing workflows for audit and review purposes
  • Integrate bias testing into existing compliance and risk management processes
