What is the Mid-Market AI Audit Readiness course about?

Mid-market organizations face unique challenges in AI governance, too complex for shortcuts, yet without the resources of enterprise teams. Misalignment between data science, IT, legal, and risk functions leads to inconsistent documentation, audit delays, and reputational exposure. Without a unified framework, even high-performing projects face scrutiny gaps when scaled.
