What is the Board-Level AI Incident Response course about?
AI incidents are no longer just technical disruptions, they trigger regulatory, reputational, and strategic consequences. Without a unified response model, teams operate in silos, delay containment, and increase board-level exposure during critical moments. The gap isn’t awareness, it’s implementation.
