AI governance Hardening Clinic: Primer
RCCE students will learn the governance, oversight, and management of artificial intelligence systems within organizations, covering AI risk assessment, ethical AI frameworks, model accountability, bias detection and mitigation, and AI regulatory compliance. RCCE students will learn to establish AI governance committees, define acceptable AI use policies, implement model risk management processes, conduct AI impact assessments, monitor AI system behavior for drift and unintended outcomes, comply with emerging AI regulations, and respond to incidents where AI systems produce harmful or unexpected results. This hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
