What is the Board-Level MLOps Foundations for Audit Teams course about?

Machine learning systems are now embedded in core business functions, yet audit practices often lack standardized methods to assess model integrity, data provenance, and operational compliance. Traditional audit tooling doesn’t extend to dynamic model behavior, retraining cycles, or drift detection, creating gaps between technical execution and governance expectations. Without a shared language and structured methodology, audit functions risk being sidelined during critical.
