Senior leaders are expected to govern AI systems they didn’t build, using policies that don’t yet exist.
The situation this course is for
As generative AI accelerates across functions, leaders face mounting pressure to establish governance, without clear frameworks, consistent language, or scalable enforcement mechanisms. Traditional compliance models fail under AI’s speed and ambiguity, leaving teams reactive, misaligned, and exposed to downstream risk. Without structured guidance, policy design becomes fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to audit or evolve.
Who this is for
Senior business and technology leaders responsible for AI governance, risk alignment, or strategic implementation, including Chief AI Officers, Heads of AI Ethics, Technology Risk Leaders, and Executive Sponsors of AI initiatives.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused only on model development, junior compliance staff, or practitioners seeking technical prompt engineering skills.
What you walk away with
- Design generative AI policies that scale across business units and technical environments
- Align AI governance with existing risk, compliance, and operational frameworks
- Build audit-ready documentation and enforcement workflows
- Lead cross-functional AI policy rollouts with clear ownership and accountability
- Anticipate regulatory expectations and embed adaptability into policy architecture
