AI and Digital TransformationDigital Strategy and AI Governance
Organisations are adopting these systems faster than they are governing them, and the gap is where the regulatory and reputational exposure sits. This course covers both sides. Delegates work through digital strategy and the choice of where to build, buy or partner, then move to governance: an inventory of where these systems are already in use, risk classification by the decisions each affects, and the approval gates a new use case must pass. Data provenance, bias testing, explainability and human oversight are covered as governance requirements rather than technical niceties. The course addresses the direction of regulation and closes on third party and vendor governance.
