AI GOVERNANCE

Responsible AI & Governance

As AI Project Lead at one of Canada's largest polytechnics, a certified trainer with thousands of professionals taught, and the author of three books on technology, Frank brings genuine authority to responsible AI.

Bias & Fairness

THE RISK

AI systems trained on historical data can encode and amplify existing biases. Frank’s training helps teams identify where bias enters the pipeline and how to audit, document, and reduce its impact on decisions.

Audit frameworks included

Data Privacy

THE RISK

What data can you feed into an AI tool and what should you never share? Frank covers data classification, acceptable use policies, and how to protect sensitive information across government and enterprise environments.

Policy templates provided

Policy Alignment

THE RISK

Governance lives or dies by adoption. Frank helps leadership translate responsible AI principles into practical internal policies: acceptable use agreements, procurement checklists, and staff onboarding protocols that actually get followed.

Regulatory Readiness

THE RISK

The EU AI Act is in force. Canada’s AIDA is advancing. Whether your organization operates across borders or serves the public sector, Frank maps your current AI use against emerging compliance requirements before they become obligations.
