What is the Production-Grade AI Integration Risk for M&A course about?
Even experienced teams struggle to align AI systems across merged entities. Inconsistent data governance, model lineage gaps, and infrastructure mismatches create delays, audit exposure, and erosion of executive trust. These are not theoretical risks, they are recurring execution failures in real integration timelines.
