AI is moving fast, but procurement controls haven't caught up , leaving compliance teams to retrofit guardrails after deployment.

The situation this course is for

Compliance officers are expected to ensure AI adherence to evolving standards, yet most lack a structured process for evaluating vendors, assessing model risk, or embedding auditability into contracts. Traditional frameworks are too slow, while ad hoc reviews create inconsistency and exposure.

Who this is for

Compliance, risk, and governance professionals in mid-to-large organizations who influence or own AI procurement decisions.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists focused on model development or IT buyers focused solely on cost and integration. It’s designed for those accountable for policy, risk, and long-term regulatory alignment in AI adoption.

What you walk away with

  • Build a repeatable AI vendor assessment framework aligned with compliance mandates
  • Integrate model explainability and bias testing into procurement checklists
  • Draft AI-specific contract clauses covering data use, retraining, and audit rights
  • Align AI acquisition with global regulatory trends including EU AI Act and NIST AI standards
  • Lead cross-functional procurement decisions with legal, security, and business teams
