What you walk away with

Technical confidence, grounded in real supervisory use cases.

Powered by the GovSpace AI GymA secure sandbox built for supervisory use cases.

240 environments, 93 data sources and 40 open code libraries. Design, test and validate supervisory AI applications without risking live systems.

  • Practical, hands-on familiarity with data science, AI and agentic systems: advanced analytics, data strategy and machine-learning techniques.
  • Proficiency in extracting intelligence from raw data, so strategic decisions rest on evidence.
  • A working grasp of data governance and ethics: responsible handling of sensitive supervisory data and compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • The ability to communicate data-driven insight to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.

Who it is for

For supervisors ready to move from strategy to hands-on capability.

Supervisors and examiners

Who want to see what AI and data science can do on their own supervisory questions, and judge it for themselves.

Data and SupTech teams

In financial authorities, building or buying the analytics that supervision runs on.

Analysts and data scientists

Who want the supervisory context, governance and ethics around their technical work.

Bootcamp and Frontiers alumni

Ready to turn strategy into working capability. No prior coding experience required.

“Signed up for the program with little knowledge and experience in data science, and ended it with a better appreciation and understanding of the practical use of data science in supervisory technology.”

Supervisor, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas · cohort 2025
Curriculum

Six weeks. Three modules. Three hands-on case studies in the AI Gym.

Introduction

Get oriented and inspired

  • Why AI and data science matter in financial supervision
  • The value proposition for supervisors and for data scientists
  • Think beyond existing roles, toward an interdisciplinary perspective
1 week
Module 1

AI and data science as SupTech: a primer

  • De-hype AI: generative AI, agentic AI and traditional machine learning, and when each applies
  • Roles, tools and best practice for AI, agents and data science
  • The SupTech Taxonomy and GovTech Generations models, and how to use them
  • Key applications in SupTech, including agentic architectures and LLM-driven workflows
1 week
Module 2

AI and data science in the wild

  • Identify the supervisory value proposition of each AI or data-science solution
  • Practice the implementation through interactive notebooks and agentic tools
  • Change the parameters of synthetic model versions and see what moves
  • Weigh how agentic approaches augment or differ from traditional data science
  • Three case studies, one a week, in the live AI Gym. Machine-learning classification, NLP analysis and agentic workflow design, on supervisory datasets.
3 weeks
Module 3

Deploying AI and data-science products in supervision

  • Responsible use of AI and data-science tools
  • Ethics in deployment: bias, transparency and accountability
  • AI governance frameworks for the public sector
  • Team structures for AI and data science in financial supervision, and where to build skills

Capstone

A brief for an AI application in your own agency.

You propose an AI or data-science application for a real supervisory challenge in your organization, drawing on the tools explored in the course, from machine learning and NLP to agentic workflows, and make the case for how to deploy it.

“Combining data science with real-world application empowered me to build strategic and technology-driven tools that make a real impact. It's not just a course; it's a catalyst for innovation in public service.”
