Negotiating AI contracts without a compliance-first framework leads to misaligned expectations, hidden risks, and delayed deployments
The situation this course is for
Compliance officers are increasingly asked to sign off on AI procurement deals that lack clear accountability structures, audit trails, or fallback mechanisms. Traditional negotiation playbooks don’t address algorithmic transparency, data provenance, or model lifecycle governance, leaving teams exposed to downstream regulatory scrutiny.
Who this is for
Compliance officers in mid-to-large organizations who influence or approve AI, machine learning, or intelligent automation procurement decisions
Who this is not for
This course is not for software developers building AI models or sales professionals pitching AI tools. It is specifically designed for compliance and governance professionals evaluating third-party AI solutions for procurement.
What you walk away with
- Apply a structured framework to assess AI vendor proposals through a compliance lens
- Negotiate contract terms that enforce transparency, auditability, and accountability
- Integrate AI procurement checks into existing risk and governance workflows
- Lead cross-functional procurement discussions with confidence and clarity
- Deploy a customized implementation playbook to standardize future AI negotiations
