What is the Board-Level AI Use Case Triage course about?
Public-sector AI projects often collapse under misaligned incentives, unclear ownership, or weak board-level justification. Practitioners lack a consistent method to separate high-impact, low-risk use cases from those that are politically sensitive, technically fragile, or ethically ambiguous. Without a triage discipline, organizations waste resources on pilots that don’t scale and miss opportunities to deliver measurable public value.
