What is the Operationally-Sound AI Validation Protocols course about?

Compliance officers are increasingly asked to assess AI systems without clear validation standards, leading to inconsistent evaluations, audit challenges, and misalignment with technical teams. Generic checklists don't address the nuances of model behavior, data provenance, or operational risk tiers. Without structured protocols, teams risk either over-blocking innovation or under-scrutinizing critical systems.
