What is the Production-Grade AI Model Risk Management course about?
Public-sector AI initiatives often move forward on technical merit alone, only to stall during audit, compliance review, or stakeholder scrutiny. Without structured model risk practices, teams face rework, loss of funding confidence, and erosion of public trust, especially when models impact eligibility, allocation, or access.
