What is the Pragmatic AI Risk Officer Capabilities course about?

As AI adoption accelerates, audit functions are under pressure to provide assurance without standardized methods. Professionals are stepping into roles that require fluency in both risk governance and technical implementation, yet most training remains theoretical or siloed. This gap slows down compliance, weakens stakeholder trust, and increases operational friction during reviews.
