Course overview
Knowledge and records teams are under pressure to make trusted information easier to find while controlling retention, privacy, security and regulatory obligations. Generative AI can improve search, summarisation, policy guidance and expert knowledge transfer, but poorly governed systems can produce unsupported answers, expose restricted content, preserve obsolete records or create untraceable decisions. Leaders need a disciplined approach that joins knowledge management, records management, information architecture and AI risk controls.
This course examines how to design AI-supported knowledge services using authoritative content, metadata, taxonomies, retrieval-augmented generation and human review. Participants learn to assess knowledge maturity, identify priority use cases, prepare sources for retrieval, define records and retention requirements, test AI answer quality and establish operating controls. The syllabus covers ISO 30401, ISO 15489, Dublin Core metadata, NIST AI Risk Management Framework functions, model documentation, evaluation sets, audit trails and service performance measures.
Instructor-led sessions combine short technical briefings, sector-based cases, group analysis, design simulations and structured application planning. Cases reflect common requirements in banking, public administration, regulated industry, NGOs and multinational organisations, including policy assistants, casework guidance, incident knowledge bases and controlled document repositories. Participants leave with a practical AI-enabled knowledge management implementation pack: a use-case assessment, knowledge architecture outline, governance model, assurance checklist and 90-day action plan. The course is delivered over five days in the classroom or live online and includes a certificate of completion.
