Film 1 of 50: What is AI governance?2:02
Learning paths
From first principles to running a programme
AI Governance 101
What AI is, why it needs governance, how a programme is built, the laws that already apply to it, the EU AI Act in full, and how the rest of the world is regulating.
See the syllabusAI Governance 201
AI-specific law in depth: the EU AI Act, the US patchwork, UK, Asia-Pacific, and the standards that bind them together.
AI Governance 301
Governing build and deployment, generative and agentic AI, red teaming, incidents and post-market monitoring.
Why this course
Made by people who run AI governance for a living
One idea per film
Each film runs about two and a half minutes and draws the idea instead of reading it to you. It pauses once to ask you a question.
You practise on real work
Each module ends with a document you fill in for a system you know, scored against the rubric an auditor would use.
Kept up to date
This is version 1.2, updated 11 November 2026. New films are added free as the law changes.
A certificate you can prove
Pass the 60-question exam at 80 percent and your certificate gets a public page showing your score in each AIGP domain.
The syllabus
8 modules, 50 films, 131 minutes
Foundations of AI governance
What governance is, why AI needs it, what AI is, how it is built, what can go wrong, and who is who in the value chain.
Module 24 films, 8 minAI fundamentals for governance
Just enough machine learning, large language models, agents and deployment options to govern them.
Module 39 films, 19 minBuilding the governance programme
Right-sizing, roles, policies, generative AI at work, literacy, the inventory, intake and the metrics a board acts on.
Module 46 films, 14 minExisting laws that apply to AI
Privacy, intellectual property, discrimination, consumer, product liability and cyber law already reach AI systems. How each one bites.
Module 58 films, 23 minThe EU AI Act
How AI law is built, who the Act covers, its four risk tiers, the ten banned practices, what high risk costs, what the deployer owes, the rules for general-purpose models, and who enforces all of it.
Module 66 films, 18 minThe global AI landscape
The United States, the United Kingdom, Asia-Pacific and the rest of the world, the treaties and codes that supply everyone else their vocabulary, and how to keep up when the rulebook moves.
Module 76 films, 19 minStandards and frameworks
The playbooks you are measured against: the OECD principles, the NIST risk framework, the certifiable ISO management standard and the rest of its library, the frameworks from outside the standards world, and how to make one control answer all of them.
Module 83 films, 9 minGoverning AI development
Designing and building responsibly: defining the use case before anything is built, assessing impact while the design can still change, and putting the controls in at build time.
What you leave with
8 documents you can take back to work
One per module. Fill each in for a system your organisation runs and you have the start of a governance file.

- Module 3Record one AI system in the inventory
- Module 4Privacy, IP and discrimination triage for one use case
- Module 5Classify one system under the EU AI Act
- Module 6Map one product across jurisdictions
- Module 7One control, mapped to every framework that asks for it
- Module 8Charter one use case before anything is built
For teams
Show that your people are AI literate
EU AI Act Article 4 has applied since 2 February 2025. It asks every organisation that builds or uses AI to make sure its staff understand it well enough for the job they do. Different roles need different depth, so start each group where it makes sense.
