What is the Board-Level AI Model Risk Management course about?
AI initiatives in highly regulated industries often stall not because of technical failure, but due to misalignment with compliance expectations, unclear accountability, or insufficient risk articulation to leadership. Practitioners are expected to deliver models that are not only accurate but also defensible, transparent, and aligned with evolving regulatory expectations, all while speaking the language of both engineers and executives.
