Why This Course Is Important to Attend

AI will increasingly influence decisions about people, services, funding, and outcomes. Leaders who cannot evaluate AI risk being governed by it rather than governing it. This course provides a shared evaluation language for technical and non-technical leaders, enabling confident collaboration, defensible governance, and responsible AI adoption.

For boards and public-sector leaders, AI Evals is now an essential leadership capability, not a future consideration.

What you’ll learn

Learn to evaluate AI for value, risk, bias, and trust to make confident decisions and enable responsible adoption at scale.

  • Apply consistent evaluation criteria to AI proposals, pilots, and vendor solutions before approval.

  • Enable leaders to justify AI decisions confidently to boards, auditors, and regulators.

  • Reduce ad-hoc or politically driven AI decisions through structured, repeatable assessment.

  • Ensure AI initiatives directly support organizational strategy or public service objectives.

  • Prioritize AI funding based on measurable value, not technical novelty.

  • Strengthen accountability for AI spend by linking outcomes to mission and mandate.

  • Identify bias, fairness, and explainability risks early in data and model design.

  • Reduce exposure to regulatory, legal, and public trust failures.

  • Equip leaders to intervene before AI issues escalate into crises.

  • Define decision rights, approval authorities, and escalation paths for AI systems.

  • Clarify leadership ownership across business, technology, and compliance teams.

  • Ensure AI remains under executive and board control, not vendor or technical drift.

  • Track AI performance, drift, and risk after deployment—not just at launch.

  • Enable timely decisions to pause, modify, or retire AI systems when needed.

  • Maintain long-term trust, reliability, and value through continuous oversight.

Testimonials

  • I was skeptical about data-driven training—but this course delivered exactly what I needed. The KPI framework alone transformed how we measure success across departments. The instructor made complex concepts accessible, and the case studies mirrored real challenges we face. Already recommended to my colleagues!
