What is the Board-Level ML Infrastructure Cost course about?
As machine learning moves into core operations, finance and risk leaders face rising pressure to justify infrastructure costs, while compliance teams struggle to audit black-box spending patterns. Traditional cost optimization doesn't address governance expectations at board level.
