What is the Board-Level ML Infrastructure Cost course about?
Organizations deploying machine learning at scale are facing mounting infrastructure costs that span regions, teams, and cloud providers. Without centralized cost governance, these expenses become opaque, inefficient, and difficult to justify at the executive level.
