What is the Cross-Functional AI Bias Testing for Audit course about?

Audit teams face rising expectations to validate AI fairness, but without standardized, cross-functional testing approaches, efforts become fragmented, reactive, and difficult to scale. Technical teams run tests in isolation, while compliance teams lack the tools to verify them. This gap creates reputational and regulatory exposure, even when intent is strong.
