AI adoption is accelerating, but procurement remains ad hoc, reactive, and siloed, creating inefficiencies and control gaps.

The situation this course is for

Compliance teams are expected to enable AI innovation while managing risk, yet lack standardized, repeatable processes for vendor assessment, contractual guardrails, and lifecycle oversight. This leads to inconsistent decisions, duplicated efforts, and missed opportunities to shape AI strategy proactively.

Who this is for

Compliance, risk, and governance professionals in technology-driven organizations who influence or lead AI procurement decisions.

Who this is not for

This is not for engineers building AI models, vendors selling AI tools, or teams focused solely on post-deployment monitoring.

What you walk away with

  • Design a scalable AI procurement framework aligned with regulatory expectations
  • Standardize vendor assessment workflows across business units
  • Integrate compliance controls into procurement lifecycle stages
  • Negotiate AI contracts with clear risk thresholds and audit rights
  • Position compliance as a strategic partner in AI transformation
