What is the Cross-Functional ML Engineering Career course about?

ML models are moving into production faster than audit frameworks can keep up. Traditional compliance approaches don’t address model drift, data provenance, or pipeline transparency. Audit teams lack structured ways to engage with ML engineering, while engineering teams struggle to meet assurance requirements. This misalignment delays deployments, increases risk exposure, and limits career pathways for professionals stuck between domains.
