Policies that are either too rigid to implement or too vague to enforce

The situation this course is for

Mid-market teams face increasing pressure to adopt generative AI while maintaining compliance, security, and operational coherence. Existing policy frameworks are often built for enterprises with dedicated legal and AI ethics teams, leaving mid-market leaders to improvise, resulting in inconsistent enforcement, audit exposure, and stalled deployments.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in mid-market organizations responsible for AI governance, risk management, compliance, IT strategy, or operations leadership

Who this is not for

Enterprise-scale legal teams with dedicated AI ethics boards or startups running unregulated AI experiments without compliance requirements

What you walk away with

  • Design risk-based AI use policies tailored to mid-market resource constraints
  • Align legal, IT, security, and business units around a unified AI governance model
  • Build audit-ready documentation workflows that scale with AI adoption
  • Implement adaptive enforcement mechanisms that support innovation without compromising compliance
  • Deploy a living AI policy framework that evolves with technical and regulatory changes
