What is the Operationally-Sound AI Center-of-Excellence course about?
Professionals in regulated environments face increasing pressure to deliver AI innovation while maintaining compliance, traceability, and control. Without a structured operating model, even promising pilots fail to scale or face rejection during audit cycles. The gap isn’t technical skill, it’s operational design.
