What is the Mid-Market AI Integration Risk for M&A course about?
Mid-market firms are moving fast on AI adoption, but acquisition due diligence often overlooks algorithmic debt, model lineage, and integration complexity. This creates silent risk that surfaces only after closing, when correcting it is more costly and disruptive.
