What you’ll learn & what you’ll make
Learn
- Board duties for AI oversight (challenge, risk, controls, assurance)
- The AI landscape (models, vendors, deployment options)
- Policy, privacy, IP, ethics, workforce impact
Make
- AI oversight charter addendum (Audit/Tech/Board)
- AI risk register entries aligned to your sector
- Board calendar insert with reporting cadence
- Responsible AI policy starter

AI topics — concise & board‑relevant
- What an LLM is; tokens & context windows; strengths & limits
- Training vs fine‑tuning vs RAG vs inference
- Safety & governance: hallucinations, data leakage, prompt injection; IP & privacy
- Who’s who: OpenAI/ChatGPT, Anthropic/Claude, Google/Gemini, Microsoft/Copilot, Meta/Llama, AWS/Bedrock, Cohere/Command, Mistral/Mixtral
- Deployment: APIs, SaaS copilots, private/self‑hosted models
- Vendor assessment: assurance, privacy posture, pricing & lock‑in

Privacy & CPD
Privacy by design
Your uploaded context is private to you and used only to personalise outputs. Detailed data policy will be published before launch.
CPD alignment
Designed for UK NEDs. We’re pursuing CPD recognition with leading bodies; early access registrants get updates first.
FAQ
Is this operational training?
No. It’s board‑level oversight. Learn what to ask for, what evidence to expect, and which artefacts to table.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your uploads sit in a private store to personalise your outputs. Controls and policies will be documented before launch.
When does it launch?
Soon. Join the list for early‑bird places and pricing.
Who is this for?
Current and aspiring NEDs, Chairs, and Company Secretaries who want education plus a practical tool suite.
