What is the Board-Level AI Bias Testing for Audit course about?

As AI systems influence more business decisions, audit functions are being asked to assess fairness and bias, but most lack standardized testing protocols. Without clear frameworks, audits risk being seen as reactive or inconsistent, especially under board scrutiny. The gap isn't awareness, it's implementation.
