Course Overview
Data Governance, Privacy & Responsible AI is a practical 6-hour instructor-led course designed to help professionals understand how organisations can manage data and Artificial Intelligence responsibly, securely and transparently. Participants will learn the foundations of data governance, including data ownership, quality, classification, access and lifecycle management, before exploring privacy principles, data protection by design and risk assessment. The course then examines Responsible AI topics including fairness, bias, transparency, human oversight, security, accountability and the responsible use of Generative AI.
Through practical exercises and a governance case study, learners will assess a business AI use case, identify data and AI risks, define appropriate controls and create a simple governance framework. The course provides practical regulatory awareness without attempting to provide legal advice.
