What “operational” means in AI governance

Of course you are. For the last decade, I have immersed myself in AI technology, first as the General Counsel at a computer vision company called Clarifai and then as the founder of a GenAI company called ClearOPS. Throughout this journey, I have built ethics programs, contemplated licensing and copyright legal issues and navigated the complexity that is AI. I have also led several courses on AI governance since being in the first class to take the AIGP exam. Due to demand, I have distilled all my learnings into a special class just for you. In 90 minutes, we will cover: 🐲 Policies! Whether you want one policy that you roll out to your entire company or one per business unit. ($1500 value) 🐲 AI Risk assessments templates that you can customize for your own use to manage AI vendors. ($1500 value) 🐲 Presenting to the Board? I got you. (this one is priceless) 🐲 AI Agents - what they are and how to control them. 🐲 AI Addendum drafting and procurement strategies. (bonus)

Are you battling the AI revolution?

Who is this course for

What you’ll get out of this course

Should you hire a dedicated AI Officer? Who is this person and what do they do? We will cover this role and whether it will benefit you and your organization and how to hire one.

AI Officer Role and Responsibilities

Should your company seek an AI audit or should you be asking AI vendors for proof of theirs? Are they worth it? We will cover the current regulatory landscape and compliance programming.

What about ISO 42001 or a third party audit of an AI system?

We will cover how you build an AI governance program that includes constant monitoring of AI systems.

AI Red Teaming and the AI Committee

There is value in an AI Governance program beyond the policies and the monitoring. We will include my highly valued presentation to the Board.

Human Judgment in the Age of AI

Cohort 3

AI does not replace leadership — It tests the quality of human judgment. AI is powerful — and increasingly present in everyday decisions.But AI does not correct human judgment.It amplifies the internal structure of the person using it.When that structure is scattered, decisions become reactive.When it is coherent, clarity and leadership expand.AI 202 is a structured program designed to strengthen the internal clarity that AI amplifies — so decisions remain steady even as capability accelerates.<h3>What We Observed in Cohort 1</h3>Participants completed the same self-assessment before and after five weeks.On a 1–5 clarity scale (1 = steady, 5 = reactive) average scores improved by more than one full point.Participants reported:• Less overthinking • Fewer reactive decisions • Greater steadiness under pressure • Increased confidence in executionSeveral began skeptical about AI.They left with a clear framework for what to delegate — and what not to.The goal is simple:Clearer decisions — before they scale across teams and outcomes.

Becoming an AI Governance, Risk & Compliance (AI GRC) Practitioner

Every company is deploying AI. Almost nobody is governing it.Organizations are plugging AI into hiring, lending, healthcare, and fraud detection with zero governance frameworks in place. No risk assessments. No audit trails. No compliance programs. Nothing.And regulators have noticed.The EU AI Act is live. Penalties hit €35 million or 7% of global revenue. Every major jurisdiction is building enforcement and most organizations don't have a single person who can stand up an AI governance program.Here's what nobody in cyber wants to say out loud: the traditional GRC job market is crowded, the certifications are commoditized, and the salaries have plateaued.AI governance is the opposite. The demand is exploding. The talent pool is nearly empty. And the professionals who build real expertise now with real frameworks, real projects, and real proof won't just enter this field. They'll define it.This program is how you do it in 8 weeks. You will master NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, &amp; the EU AI Act. You'll build 15+ portfolio-ready deliverables. And you'll walk out with the one thing no certificate gives you: proof you can do the job before you ever get the job.No deep tech background required.

Get hired in AI Governance. Build the portfolio that proves you can do the job.
