What is the Implementation-Focused ML Infrastructure Cost course about?
Public-sector teams are adopting machine learning faster than they can manage the associated costs. Without implementation-grade cost containment practices, projects exceed budgets, face audit risks, and lose stakeholder trust, even when technically successful.
