AI provides huge benefits if we understand how and when to leverage it and how to vet our vendors. However, AI is moving faster than the speed of thought and keeping up with this dynamically evolving game-changing technology can be difficult at best. Now there is help!
This web-based, self-paced eLearning course includes a multitude of terms, concepts, and definitions, as well as the key business benefits - and risks - to using AI.
Knowing which questions to ask your team and/or vendors is as challenging as understanding their responses. And by the way, not everything that claims to be AI really is AI.
Don't succumb to pressure from Senior Executives and Board members who want to jump into AI out of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) if you are not sure that you know what you don't know, which could result in a plethora of exposures on multiple levels.
Course Goals: :
- Knowledgebase:
Build your AI vocabulary, knowledgebase and skillsets, and impart the confidence you need to have well-informed meaningful AI discussions with your team, management, and your vendors before you take the AI plunge. - Risk Management:
Understand what AI Risk is, how it differs from traditional risk, and understand the frameworks that help identify, measure, manage and mitigate it. - Vendor Management:
Develop the knowledge required to augment your current vendor management program and build a vetting process for AI technologies and the vendors that provide them or provide solutions that utilize them.
AGENDA

- What AI is and, just as important, what it is not
- AI Types
- AI Models Defined
- AI Technologies
- Use cases
- Benefits and Risks of Artificial Intelligence
Chapter 2 - AI And My VendorsThis chapters provides questions to ask, documentation to collect, to determine if the solution you're investigating is really AI. It continues with:
- Due Diligence questions
- Contract issues to consider
- AI Types and Technologies
- Model Testing and Validation
- Benefits & Risks

Chapter 3 - AI Agents and Agentic AIAgentic AI is a true game-changer that is affecting life as we know it. This chapter covers:
- Definitions
- Examples and Comparisons
- Agentic AI Architecture
- Benefits and risks of AI Agents and Agentic AI
Chapter 4 - GovernanceWhere would we be without Governance? Without tone from the top, it's difficult for any program to succeed. This chapter covers:
- Governance Defined
- AI Governance Components and Principles
- AI Model Governance Components and Principles
- AI Policy Components
Chapter 5 - AI Risk Management FrameworksThis chapter dives into ISO 42001, NIST AI Risk Management Framework and the EU AI Act Risk Management Framework and examines the concepts, principles, similarities and differences. AI Risk differs from Traditional risk and requires frameworks that address not only the traditional exposures but those pertaining to the following:
- Ethical use of AI
- Potential harm to individuals and society
- Bias
- Fairness

Chapter 6 - RegulationsThis chapter covers several country and state regulations and proposed legislation. For instance, while the European passed the EU AI Act, there are other countries that are addressing AI through bits and pieces of existing regulations. Some countries have no regulations at all and are in the process of reviewing proposed regulations. The United States does not yet have a federal regulation equivalent to the EU's - and individual states are developing their own.
