What is the Production-Grade AI Negotiation course about?
As AI tools enter negotiation workflows, audit teams struggle to verify decision logic, ensure data lineage, and confirm regulatory alignment, especially when procurement operates under tight cycles. Without structured frameworks, teams risk either rejecting high-value AI applications or approving opaque systems that fail later scrutiny.
