What is the Board-Level AI Procurement Strategy course about?
Compliance officers are increasingly expected to guide AI acquisition decisions, yet lack structured methodologies to assess vendor integrity, algorithmic accountability, and long-term governance fit. Traditional procurement models don't address the unique risks of AI systems, leaving teams reactive instead of strategic. As board oversight intensifies, the gap between technical procurement and compliance leadership widens, creating friction, delays, and elevated risk profiles.
