AI Governance for Business Leaders: 10 Real Scenarios

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

AI governance can sound like a thick binder that nobody opens. Here it is a set of short stories, each with a real test.

You meet a person in a company with a problem that involves an AI tool. We run a real test with real AI tools, and you see the real answers on your screen. Then we look at what went wrong, or what did not, and we say so. After that comes the rule behind it, dated and in plain words, and a one page sheet for Monday morning.

You will see, among other things:

• a hiring tool that scored the same job application lower because of a career break

• a customer chatbot that was told to lean towards yes

• an AI helper that listened to a copy of a boss's voice

• how to find the AI tools that already work in your company, and give each one a named owner

Three short theory lectures sit between the stories: who is responsible for AI at your company, the rulebook map, and the governance loop.

The rules in this course are mostly the European AI Act and the GDPR, as they stand in October 2026. If you work in another part of the world, your rules may differ, and the method still works. This course is not legal advice. Check the rules again before you rely on them.

No code is needed.
