What is the Compliance-Ready AI Procurement Strategy course about?
AI presents transformative potential, but acquiring it responsibly requires balancing speed, innovation, and regulatory expectations. Traditional procurement models are not equipped to evaluate algorithmic risk, data provenance, or model lifecycle compliance. This gap creates friction between legal, security, and business units, delaying deployment or increasing downstream exposure.
