What is the Board-Level AI Incident Response course about?

Organizations face increasing pressure to demonstrate responsible AI use. When incidents occur, fragmented ownership, unclear escalation paths, and inconsistent reporting undermine trust and delay resolution. Traditional IT response frameworks don’t address governance, compliance, or reputational exposure at the executive level.
