What is the Operationally-Sound AI Bias Testing course about?

AI initiatives often stall at scale because risk and compliance teams lack structured, repeatable methods to demonstrate bias mitigation to executive leadership. Technical teams produce reports that boards find abstract, while governance teams struggle to specify what 'sound' testing looks like. This misalignment delays deployment, increases exposure, and erodes trust in AI outcomes.
