01

Understand & Protect

From Technology to Data Governance.

Before regulating, monitoring, or auditing an AI system, one must understand how it is built and what data it relies on. The first seminars provide legal professionals with the technological tools to engage with Data & AI teams and identify risks in practical terms.

Objective: To understand how data flows and how the architecture of an AI system is organized.

Objective: to gain sufficient understanding of how a model works to be able to evaluate its design, performance, and risks.

Training Validation Metrics Bias Explainability Drift Monitoring

Objective: To understand new generative architectures and the challenges they pose in terms of privacy, reliability, intellectual property, and accountability.

Foundation Models Embeddings RAG Vector Databases Multimodality Hallucinations Evaluation

Objective: To understand what changes when AI no longer merely responds but begins to act.

Objective: Make data governance the first step toward trustworthy AI.

Data Governance Quality Lineage Documentation Retention Access Controls Privacy by Design

 

02

Protect, Qualify & Regulate

From data law to global AI law.

The second step involves translating technological understanding into legal qualifications and operational obligations.

Objective: to integrate issues of sovereignty and vendor dependency into governance decisions.

International Data Transfers Extraterritoriality Localization Cloud Technological Dependencies Reversibility

Objective: To establish data compliance for an AI project, from mapping to remediation.

DPIA Security Data Protection Data Quality Documentation Controls Evidence Remediation

AI GRC Professional Project #2 — Data Protection & Quality Governance Plan: data mapping, risks, protection, quality, governance, and action plan.

This project contributes to the validation of BC01 for the RNCP Level 7 certification for Project Manager in Artificial Intelligence Solution Development.

Objective: To learn how to determine what constitutes an AI system from a legal perspective and what obligations apply to it.

Scope of Application Stakeholders Risk Levels Prohibited Practices High-Risk Systems Transparency

Objective: To translate regulatory requirements into concrete actions for technical and business teams.

Providers Deployers GPAI Documentation Human Oversight Monitoring Incidents Evidence

Objective: To legally secure new AI value chains.

Training Data Copyright Generated Content Trade Secrets Liability AI Clauses Vendors

Objective: To compare major regulatory models in order to manage technologies, data, and uses deployed across multiple jurisdictions.

European Union United States United Kingdom China India United Arab Emirates

03

Govern, Evaluate & Audit

Building trust beyond mere compliance.

Knowing the law is no longer enough. Professionals must be able to establish governance frameworks, assess risks, address ethical considerations, and demonstrate that systems remain under control.

Objective: to build a comprehensive AI governance framework.

AI Inventory Roles Responsibilities Committees Policies Lifecycle Human Oversight Documentation

AI GRC Professional Project #3 — AI Governance Framework: registry, responsibilities, policies, controls, oversight, and documentation.

Objective: To identify, assess, prioritize, and address risks associated with AI systems.

Data Risk Model Risk LLM Risk Agent Risk Cybersecurity Privacy Bias Reputation Vendors

Objective: to integrate the ethical boundaries of a system beyond mere compliance.

Fairness Transparency Explainability Fundamental Rights Human Autonomy Discrimination Proportionality

One question underpins the entire seminar: "Can we do it?" is not the same question as "Should we do it?"

AI GRC Professional Project #4 — AI Risk, Ethics & Trust Assessment: evaluating a system across five dimensions: Legal, Risk, Ethics, Trust, and Human Oversight.

Objective: to move from declared compliance to demonstrated compliance.

Architecture Data Models RAG Agents Permissions Logs Traces Monitoring Auditability

AI GRC Professional Project #5 — AI System Audit & Control Report: Conduct a technology-informed GRC audit and develop a remediation plan.

Objective: Learn how to use AI without delegating legal judgment to it.

Research Monitoring Drafting Contracts Due Diligence Document Analysis Legal Design Knowledge Management

Objective: Build a specialized assistant capable of leveraging expert legal knowledge.

RAG Knowledge Bases Sources Permissions Confidentiality Evaluation Guardrails

04

Act, Steer & Transform

From the legal AI agent to the Augmented AI GRC function.

The final section prepares participants for a world in which AI no longer merely assists legal professionals: it begins to intervene directly in legal and compliance processes.

Objective: to design agents capable of acting within a controlled legal framework.

Monitoring Contracts Qualification Data Collection Alerts Actions Human Validation Multi-Agent Systems Audit Trail

Objective: to build systems capable of detecting regulatory changes, identifying their impacts, and triggering the appropriate actions.

LegalTech RegTech Regulatory Intelligence Compliance Monitoring Obligations Mapping Alerting

Objective: To assess not only a supplier's compliance but also the strategic dependence it creates.

Cloud Proprietary/Open-Source Models APIs AI Supply Chain Localization Reversibility Third-Party Risk

Objective: to detect, classify, document, make decisions, remediate, and communicate in response to an AI incident.

Data Breach Critical Hallucination Discrimination Out-of-Control Agent Supplier Incident Reputation

Scenario: AI Crisis Room.

Objective: To transition from ad-hoc projects to a fully-fledged AI governance function.

Operating Model Maturity Roadmap KPIs/KRIs Controls Budget Committees Reporting Change Management

Objective: As AI automates research, analysis, and drafting, create greater value through judgment, interpretation, arbitration, and accountability.

Legal Operations Automation Human/AI Allocation New Workflows New Roles Skills Target Organization

AI GRC Professional Project #6 — Legal AI & GRC Transformation Blueprint: assessment → technology → law → risks → ethics → governance → stakeholders → target organization → roadmap.

Understand → Protect → Qualify → Govern → Evaluate → Audit → Act → Transform. One goal: AI that is compliant, controlled, and trustworthy.
