Compliance teams are being asked to govern AI systems without the operational playbooks to do so effectively.

The situation this course is for

AI adoption is accelerating, but oversight remains ad hoc. Compliance officers are stepping into leadership roles without structured frameworks to define scope, assign accountability, or demonstrate control continuity. This creates friction in audits, delays in deployment, and misalignment across legal, risk, and technology functions.

Who this is for

A compliance, risk, or governance professional in a mid-to-large organization adopting AI at scale, responsible for ensuring ethical, auditable, and repeatable AI governance.

Who this is not for

This is not for engineers focused on model development, nor for executives seeking high-level AI strategy overviews. It is not for those looking for academic or theoretical treatments of AI ethics.

What you walk away with

  • Build a fully operational AI Center of Excellence aligned with compliance mandates
  • Deploy standardized intake, risk tiering, and audit workflows for AI systems
  • Integrate compliance controls into AI development lifecycles
  • Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, risk, IT, and data science teams
  • Produce auditable documentation and control evidence for regulators
