What this course covers

The course runs across 7 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

The Landscape of Team-Level AI Risks & Opportunities — Evaluate how teams are currently using AI, identify high-risk vs. low-risk use cases, and define the business case for establishing clear team guardrails.
Defining Acceptable Use and Approved Tooling — Establish a framework for auditing AI tools and creating a living 'Approved AI Tool Registry' based on data privacy and security standards.
Scenario Exercise: Classifying Safe vs. Unsafe Data Inputs — Practice applying data classification rules (public, internal, confidential, PII) to real-world AI prompts and outputs to prevent data leakage.
Drafting Your Core AI Policy: Structure and Templates — Walk through a ready-to-use team policy template, customizing sections for attribution, accountability, and human-in-the-loop validation requirements.
Scenario Exercise: Handling Policy Exceptions and Escalations — Navigate a scenario where a team member wants to use an unapproved generative AI tool for an urgent client deliverable, balancing agility with compliance.
Scenario Exercise: Managing AI Violations and Slip-ups — Role-play the manager's response when confidential source code or client data is accidentally pasted into a public AI model, practicing the containment and reporting protocol.
Rollout and Continuous Alignment — Develop a communication plan to introduce the new guardrails to your team, foster open dialogue, and schedule quarterly policy reviews as AI capabilities evolve.
