AI Policy, Law & Governance
The rules are written — learn to operate inside them
EU AI Act obligations, NIST's risk framework, the copyright wars, compute controls, and the documentation practitioners actually owe — the legal surface under every AI product.
Module
The Regulatory Landscape
The EU AI Act's risk pyramid, what 'high-risk' obligates, and how the rest of the world diverges
Module
Frameworks & Standards
NIST's voluntary-but-load-bearing framework, frontier safety evaluations, and compute as a governance chokepoint
Module
Law Meets Models
Copyright's fair-use fight, liability allocation when outputs cause harm, and the disclosure rules already binding
Module
The Practitioner's Playbook
The documents, contracts, and operating program that turn compliance from review into architecture
Capstone project
Regulation briefing
Brief a lawmaker: pick an AI policy question (deepfakes, hiring algorithms, training data) and write a balanced one-pager — the risks, the benefits, and your recommendation.
Deliverable: A policy one-pager with arguments on both sides and a defensible position.
