Compliance teams are being asked to validate AI systems without clear lineage, creating friction, delays, and audit exposure.
The situation this course is for
As AI use grows, compliance officers face increasing pressure to verify data provenance, transformation logic, and retention policies, yet most lack standardized, practical frameworks. Legacy approaches don’t scale with dynamic pipelines or model-driven workflows, leaving teams reacting instead of leading.
Who this is for
Compliance, risk, and governance professionals in data-intensive industries who need to validate and document AI systems with confidence.
Who this is not for
This is not for data engineers focused solely on pipeline architecture, nor for executives seeking only high-level overviews.
What you walk away with
- Apply structured data lineage frameworks aligned with AI compliance standards
- Navigate technical documentation to trace data from source to AI output
- Integrate lineage practices into audit-ready compliance workflows
- Evaluate tooling options based on organizational scale and risk profile
- Lead cross-functional alignment between compliance, data, and AI teams
