What is the ISO 42001 for Senior Public Sector course about?
Organizations are racing to deploy AI, but governance processes are stuck in manual cycles. The gap between innovation and oversight widens daily, creating compliance drift and reputational exposure. Practitioners lack a repeatable method to operationalize standards like ISO 42001 quickly, especially in regulated public sector environments where speed must not compromise integrity.
