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

Professionals in distributed teams invest heavily in AI fairness initiatives, only to face challenges during audits or scaling. Inconsistent documentation, misaligned testing cycles, and unclear ownership erode trust, even when models perform well technically. The gap isn’t intent or expertise; it’s operational design.
