What is the Implementation-Focused AI Use Case Triage course about?
AI is moving fast, and audit functions are caught between the need to provide assurance and the lack of practical frameworks to assess what’s viable, ethical, and aligned with control goals. Without a structured triage method, teams default to either blanket approval or blanket resistance, neither of which scales.
