AI Governance, Risk & Regulation Programme

Schools Schools of Artificial Intelligence AI Governance, Risk & Regulation Programme

Programme Overview

Delivered by ADGM Academy, this is the only regional programme that unites ADGM/DIFC data protection obligations and FSRA supervisory expectations with global frameworks including the EU AI Act and the NIST AI RMF. Across three focused days, participants examine regulatory requirements, design practical governance controls, and build audit-ready documentation.  

The programme combines expert instruction with a hands-on lab using real organisational use cases to ensure direct applicability. Delegates conclude with an AI policy template, a risk-assessment methodology, and a use-case register ready to deploy.

Programme Benefits
Participants will be equipped to interpret ADGM/DIFC data protection requirements and FSRA expectations and translate them into actionable controls, procedures, and evidence. A clear line of sight is established from regulatory obligations to operational artefacts.
Professionals will develop an enterprise AI risk taxonomy and control set grounded in the NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the UAE AI Charter. Policies, approval workflows, and model inventories are formalised to embed accountability across the organisation.
Internal audit and compliance functions are strengthened to test AI systems for accuracy, bias, privacy, and explainability. Delegates produce defensible documentation and evidence packs suitable for board and regulator scrutiny, including vendor due diligence.
Participants will bridge regional regulatory nuance with EU AI Act risk-tiering and governance requirements. Cross-border practices are aligned while maintaining local compliance fidelity across ADGM and DIFC jurisdictions.
Who is the Programme for?

This programme is for risk, internal audit, compliance, DPOs, and regulators in corporate and government environments.
