Uncertainty in AI vendor selection and compliance alignment slows deployment and increases exposure in regulated sectors.

The situation this course is for

As AI adoption accelerates, procurement teams in regulated industries face mounting pressure to act quickly, without sacrificing compliance, security, or audit readiness. Traditional sourcing models don’t account for algorithmic risk, data provenance, or model governance, leaving teams to improvise frameworks under tight deadlines.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, procurement leads, technology risk managers, and product or engineering leaders in financial services, healthcare, energy, or government-adjacent sectors who are responsible for sourcing or approving AI solutions.

Who this is not for

This is not for software developers building models from scratch or for executives seeking high-level AI trend overviews. It is also not for teams operating in unregulated or low-compliance environments.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a repeatable framework for assessing AI vendor risk across technical, legal, and operational dimensions
  • Align procurement decisions with regulatory expectations in jurisdictions with strict data and algorithmic accountability rules
  • Integrate model documentation, audit trails, and exit strategies into vendor contracts
  • Reduce time-to-deployment by leveraging pre-vetted evaluation templates and scoring rubrics
  • Build internal credibility by leading procurement with a structured, defensible methodology
