What is the Operationally-Sound AI Strategy Roadmapping course about?
AI adoption is accelerating, but audit functions often lack structured frameworks to assess deployment pipelines, model governance, or operational risk exposure. Without a clear roadmap, audit teams react too late or miss systemic risks entirely.
