Operationalising Trustworthy AI
Course 1: Engineering Governance with Data, Traceability & Automation
As AI systems become increasingly dynamic, organisations need new approaches to governance that go beyond documentation and periodic audits. This course explores how modern AI governance is evolving towards connected governance data, lifecycle traceability, automated evidence collection and continuous assurance.
You'll learn how Trustworthy AI principles are translated into practical engineering processes using governance requirements, controls, evidence and assurance. Along the way, you'll discover how governance data enables automation, improves auditability and supports trustworthy AI throughout the entire lifecycle.
Whether you're an AI engineer, software engineer, architect, MLOps practitioner or governance professional, this course provides a practical introduction to engineering modern AI governance systems.
