Responsible AI Management Practices Course
AI adoption is accelerating across every industry, and the consultants and professionals who can navigate it responsibly are becoming indispensable.
This self-paced course gives you a thorough, practical grounding in Responsible AI, covering the core principles, ethical frameworks, regulatory requirements, and governance structures that organisations need to get right. You work through the six pillars of Responsible AI, the EU AI Act and its risk-level approach, GDPR intersections, and what AI literacy means in a real organisational context. A dedicated governance module takes you step by step through building your own AI governance structure, from setting up a working group and AI registry to conducting initial risk assessments.
The course also addresses ethical decision-making, bias, and how to implement Responsible AI across the full AI lifecycle, including auditing. It closes with a practical look at Microsoft tools, specifically Viva and Purview, that support AI governance in a Microsoft environment.
A team of certified instructors is available throughout to support your progress, and you earn a certificate and badge on completion.
