Overview

Artificial Intelligence in the public sector carries consequences far beyond operational efficiency — it shapes citizens’ rights, trust, and democratic legitimacy.

This capstone is the culminating stage of the C-Lab Institute AI Responsibility pathway. Participants are placed in a high-stakes government decision scenario involving the deployment of an AI system for public welfare eligibility assessment.

Under political, legal, and societal pressure, leaders must determine whether the system should proceed, pause, or be redesigned.

This is not a theoretical exercise.
It is a governance decision under scrutiny.

AI Responsibility Capstone: Algorithmic Personalisation & Privacy Risk - Hotel Case Study

Course Type

Executive Leadership | AI Governance Capstone Simulation

Institution

C-Lab Institute


Overview

Artificial Intelligence in hospitality does not only personalise experiences — it reshapes guest privacy, trust, and brand integrity.

This capstone is the culminating stage of the C-Lab Institute AI Responsibility pathway. Participants are placed in a global hotel group that has deployed an AI-powered personalisation engine.

The system tracks guest preferences, spending patterns, sentiment data, and behavioural analytics to optimise pricing, room allocation, and targeted marketing.

Customer engagement appears stronger.

However:

• Guests are unaware of the extent of behavioural profiling
• Regulators are reviewing cross-border data transfers
• A media investigation has raised concerns about “surveillance hospitality”
• A data leak has exposed sensitive guest patterns

The board must determine whether the AI system should continue, be redesigned, scaled globally, or suspended.

This is not a marketing decision.
It is a governance decision involving privacy, compliance, and brand trust.

AI Responsibility Capstone: Governance Under Pressure - Finance Case Study

Course Type

Executive Leadership | AI Governance Capstone Simulation

Institution

C-Lab Institute


Overview

Artificial Intelligence in financial services does not simply optimise decisions — it influences credit access, risk assessment, fraud detection, and market stability.

This capstone is the culminating stage of the C-Lab Institute AI Responsibility pathway. Participants are placed in a regional financial institution preparing to deploy an AI-powered credit risk and customer profiling model.

The model promises:

• Faster loan approvals

• Higher profitability

However:

• Early testing suggests possible demographic bias
• Model explainability is limited
• Regulators are increasing scrutiny of algorithmic decision-making
• Consumer advocacy groups are demanding transparency
• Investors are pushing for rapid rollout

The board must determine whether to proceed, delay, restrict, or redesign the deployment.

This is not a data science decision.
It is a governance decision under regulatory and reputational pressure.


Capstone Objective

Participants will act as Chair of the AI Risk & Governance Committee and prepare a formal Board Advisory Memorandum recommending a responsible course of action.

The capstone evaluates the leader’s ability to:

• Identify strategic, regulatory, and consumer risks
• Assess model bias and explainability concerns
• Evaluate compliance exposure under financial regulations
• Design oversight and accountability mechanisms
• Propose monitoring, testing, and audit frameworks
• Make a defensible go / no-go deployment recommendation

AI Responsibility Capstone: Clinical AI Under Regulatory Scrutiny - Healthcare Case Study

Artificial Intelligence in healthcare does not merely optimise processes — it influences diagnoses, treatment pathways, and patient safety.

This capstone is the culminating stage of the C-Lab Institute AI Responsibility pathway. Participants are placed in a healthcare institution that has deployed a clinical AI system to assist with diagnostic decision-making.

Initial results showed efficiency gains.
However, new evidence suggests possible bias across demographic groups, incomplete validation studies, and regulatory review concerns.

  • Media scrutiny is increasing.
  • Regulators are requesting documentation.
  • Clinicians are divided in opinion.

The hospital board must determine whether the system should continue, be restricted, redesigned, or suspended.

This is not a technical audit.
It is a governance decision involving patient safety and public trust.

In healthcare, AI responsibility is not optional.

It is a clinical obligation.

Technology may assist decision-making —
but governance protects patients.

Without governance, innovation can harm.
With governance, innovation heals.

Overview

Artificial Intelligence does not fail because of poor technology — it fails because leadership is unprepared.

AI Readiness for Leaders is the foundational stage in the C-Lab Institute AI Leadership pathway. Before governance, deployment, or innovation can occur, leaders must first build clarity, literacy, and strategic judgement.

This programme equips executives to evaluate whether their organisation is truly prepared for AI adoption — culturally, operationally, and strategically.

Participants will learn how to:

• Assess organisational AI maturity and capability gaps
• Distinguish AI opportunity from AI hype
• Understand foundational AI concepts without technical complexity
• Identify strategic use cases aligned to business outcomes
• Recognise early governance and risk considerations
• Develop a structured AI Readiness roadmap

This course is designed for decision-makers — not engineers.
It builds executive confidence before investment and deployment decisions are made.

By the end of the programme, leaders will be able to answer the critical question:

“Is my organisation truly ready for AI?”
