Nearly three in four organizations are giving agentic AI access to their data and processes. Just 20% have a tested AI incident response plan. When AI can act, governance canโ€™t be an afterthought.

Frequently asked
questions.

What is AI quality governance?

AI quality governance is the set of roles, policies, risk assessments and controls an organization uses to make sure AI systems are accurate, robust, fair, safe and explainable, before and after they reach production, not just at launch.

How is AI governance different from traditional QA or IT governance?

Traditional QA and IT governance assume deterministic systems with fixed pass/fail tests. AI systems are non-deterministic and drift over time, so governance has to add ongoing risk assessment, model and data lineage tracking, and continuous monitoring, not a one-time sign-off.

What's the difference between the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001?

The EU AI Act is binding law that classifies AI systems into risk tiers with specific legal obligations. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework is a voluntary US framework for identifying and managing AI risk. ISO/IEC 42001 is an international standard for running an AI management system, similar in structure to ISO 27001 for information security. Many organizations use all three together.

Is this training only for QA teams and testers?

No. This program is built for anyone accountable for AI quality and risk: compliance and risk officers, engineering and product leaders, data protection officers, and QA/test leaders, not testers exclusively. The governance operating model and regulatory modules are written for cross-functional review boards, not a single team.

What is an AI review board, and does my organization need one?

An AI review board is the governance body that approves, monitors and re-approves AI systems as they change, similar to a change advisory board, but scoped to model risk, data risk and regulatory obligations. Most organizations deploying AI at scale need one once more than a handful of AI systems are in production.

Does this course cover AI red teaming and adversarial testing?

Yes. The Model Evaluation & Assurance module covers red teaming, adversarial testing and jailbreak testing as part of a broader evaluation suite, alongside benchmarking, golden datasets and RAG-specific metrics like hallucination and groundedness.

How does the program address Responsible AI?

The program covers fairness, transparency, disclosure, consent, human oversight, bias, contested decisions, and ethical trade-offs, helping participants understand how responsible AI principles can be applied in practice.

Are there any prerequisites for this training?

No prerequisites are required. The program is designed to introduce participants to AI governance concepts, frameworks, risk assessment, quality assurance, responsible AI, and production governance from the ground up.

How do you govern an AI system after it goes into production?

You’ll learn about production monitoring for drift, model degradation, cost, latency, traceability, audit trails, guardrails, and runtime policy enforcement, as well as AI incident classification, escalation, and postmortems.

Will I learn how to build an AI risk register?

Yes. You’ll learn how to create an AI system inventory and risk register, identify model, data, integration, human, and third-party risks, and assess risks using impact and likelihood scoring.
