AI Governance, Policy & Regulatory Leadership for Government (AIGPRL)®
Offered by: Global Institute for Leadership, Human Resources & Project Excellence (AGILE-HRP®)
Program Overview
The AI Governance, Policy & Regulatory Leadership for Government (AIGPRL)® program is a high-level executive certification designed to prepare government leaders to govern, regulate, and oversee artificial intelligence responsibly and at scale. As AI increasingly influences public decision-making, service delivery, surveillance, economic policy, and national competitiveness, governments must establish clear governance models, sound policies, enforceable regulations, and effective oversight mechanisms. This program equips senior officials with the frameworks, tools, and leadership capabilities needed to balance innovation with public trust, legal compliance, and ethical responsibility.
The program is non-technical, policy-driven, and leadership-focused, making it ideal for professionals responsible for rules, accountability, and institutional legitimacy, rather than system development.
