AI procurement in regulated industries is too often reactive, siloed, and disconnected from compliance or operational reality.

The situation this course is for

Teams struggle to align AI sourcing with evolving regulatory expectations, internal risk thresholds, and technical integration demands. Without a structured procurement strategy, organizations face delayed deployments, compliance friction, and vendor lock-in, all while leadership expects measurable, auditable progress.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, procurement leads, AI governance specialists, and technology risk managers in financial services, healthcare, energy, and other highly regulated sectors.

Who this is not for

Individuals seeking introductory AI awareness content or general technology trends without procurement or compliance focus.

What you walk away with

  • Develop a board-aligned AI procurement framework tailored to regulated environments
  • Evaluate AI vendors through a compliance, risk, and technical integration lens
  • Structure contracts that enforce transparency, auditability, and performance guarantees
  • Implement lifecycle oversight for AI systems post-deployment
  • Anticipate and respond to regulatory scrutiny in procurement decisions
