Day 1

AI Governance Foundations & Global Law (8 Hours)

Module 1
The Global AI Governance Landscape

GAICC Differentiator

Goes substantially beyond EU-only or US-centric coverage. Builds genuine multi-jurisdictional governance competency with equal depth across APAC, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

Workshop Exercise (30 min)

Extraterritorial exposure mapping: multinational AI deployment scenario spanning five jurisdictions — build a regulatory exposure matrix and phased compliance strategy.

GAICC Differentiator

Bridges the technical-governance gap that most other credentials ignore entirely. Governance professionals develop functional technical literacy to govern AI systems credibly.

  • Part A: Foundation model governance risk, RAG governance, technical failure mode library, technical-legal risk mapping matrix, vendor due diligence
  • Part B: Agentic system architecture risk, supply chain risks, prompt injection governance, red teaming governance, probability/severity harms matrices

Workshop Exercise (30 min)

Technical-governance risk mapping: produce a complete risk map from an AI system architecture diagram — failure modes, legal exposure vectors, and proportional controls.

  • Use-case definition and governance: intended use, foreseeable misuse, affected populations
  • Impact assessment design: FRIA, AIA, sector-specific frameworks
  • Data governance for AI development: lawful basis, consent, lineage, synthetic data
  • Training and testing governance: bias testing, performance benchmarking, security testing
  • Deployment readiness and conformity assessment
  • Continuous monitoring: drift detection, retraining governance, audit scheduling
  • Incident management lifecycle and decommissioning governance
  • Part A: GDPR applied to AI, CCPA/CPRA, PIPL, PDPA, LGPD, anti-discrimination obligations, consumer protection, product liability
  • Part B: EU AI Act compliance in practice, AI-specific legislation beyond EU, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF in practice, multi-jurisdictional compliance matrices

GAICC Differentiator

Dedicated module on agentic AI and generative AI governance — the fastest-growing frontier of AI governance risk. Deepest coverage of any available certification.

  • Agentic AI governance framework: autonomy spectrum, human oversight requirements
  • Multi-agent system governance: orchestration accountability, cascading decision risk
  • Generative AI content governance: accuracy obligations, hallucination liability, deepfake governance
  • IP and copyright in generative AI: training data exposure, output ownership
  • RAG architecture governance: knowledge base integrity, source auditing

Day 2

Applied Governance Practice & Strategic Advisory (8 Hours)

Module 6
Risk Classification & Proportional Compliance Design

  • Governance calibration by context: SME vs enterprise, regulated vs unregulated
  • AI risk register design: taxonomy, scoring, escalation triggers
  • Vendor and third-party AI oversight frameworks
  • AI governance maturity assessment and improvement roadmaps
  • AI risk appetite definition methodology

GAICC Differentiator

Integrates human rights due diligence alongside technical fairness frameworks — reflecting the growing convergence of AI governance with international human rights obligations.

  • Fairness definitions in tension: demographic parity, equalised odds, individual fairness
  • Bias across the AI lifecycle in practice
  • Regulatory approaches to algorithmic fairness across jurisdictions
  • Bias auditing in practice: commissioning, evaluating, remediating
  • Human rights due diligence: UN Guiding Principles in AI governance
  • Part A: AI bias incident, hallucination-based harm, data leak via AI, autonomous agent harm, deepfake harm
  • Legal response sequencing: containment → disclosure → regulatory notification → litigation risk
  • Post-incident review: root cause analysis, governance gap identification

Tabletop Crisis Simulation (45 min)

Live simulation: unfolding AI crisis with new information arriving in stages. Teams make real-time decisions on containment, disclosure, and regulatory notification under time pressure.

  • AI Acceptable Use Policy drafting
  • AI Vendor Due Diligence Clause design
  • AI Governance Charter: committee mandate, RACI, reporting
  • Model Documentation Requirements Clause
  • AI Incident Response Clause and AI Contract Representations & Warranties

Deliverable

Each participant leaves with a complete drafted AI governance policy package and core contractual clause set ready to adapt for their organisational context.

GAICC Differentiator

Equips professionals to advise C-suite and boards as strategic AI governance advisors — moving beyond compliance to strategic risk advisory and governance as competitive advantage.
