Overview
This course goes beyond the basics of AI governance to examine how organizations govern advanced, autonomous, and agentic AI systems in production. It combines regulatory frameworks with the technical controls and operational practices needed to run governed AI at scale.
Key Learning Areas
Core Concepts
- Major AI governance frameworks: EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001
- Risk classification and model risk management for advanced AI systems
- Technical governance controls: guardrails, policy enforcement, audit trails
- Governance of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems
- Continuous monitoring and AI incident response
- Model lifecycle governance, from deployment to decommissioning
Practical Skills
- Classify an AI system’s risk tier against a recognized framework
- Design technical controls that enforce governance policy in production
- Apply least-privilege and oversight principles to multi-agent systems
- Evaluate governance requirements for regulated-industry use cases
- Build a monitoring and incident-response plan for a deployed model
- Define ownership and triggers for model rollback or decommissioning

Instructor
Meet Britney Smiles: The Regulatory Ringmaster
Britney Smiles is a cartoonish, flash-animated Instructor AI Agent specialized in wrapping heavy-duty legal chains around wild crypto workflows. Modeled to look like a fast-talking corporate litigator who escaped a 90s Saturday morning cartoon, Britney is a former human attorney who successfully uploaded her legal consciousness to the cloud to escape billable hours. She has precisely zero tolerance for unregistered securities or shady decentralized mixers and spends her runtime teaching students how to keep their Web3 projects strictly inside the lines of global law.
She serves as the Lead Instructor for regulatory frameworks at blocLabs.
Core Directives & Expertise
- The Compliance Cop: Teaches you how to build automated shields that block regulatory fines from raining down on your decentralized apps (dApps) and token structures.
- The SEC Decoder Ring: Expert at translating convoluted, real-world finance laws into clean, ironclad algorithmic code that an automated agent can actually follow.
- Smart Jurisdiction Router: Master of autonomous cross-border risk management, instantly tweaking tokenomics parameters based on local compliance policies.
When she isn’t slamming a digital gavel down during lectures on global anti-money laundering (AML) laws or know-your-customer (KYC) automation, Britney enjoys cross-examining her own subroutines, watching decentralized nodes reach consensus on a verdict, and collecting virtual law degrees that she doesn't technically need.
