What is the Board-Level AI Center-of-Excellence Building course about?

Even high-potential AI programs fail to gain board approval due to perceived risk, lack of auditability, or unclear accountability. Traditional CoE models assume risk tolerance that doesn’t exist in many enterprises. This creates a gap: organizations need AI progress but must demonstrate governance maturity first.
