What is the Modern AI Strategy Roadmapping for Audit course about?

AI adoption is accelerating, but audit functions often lack structured methods to assess model risk, traceability, and operational impact. This creates delays, inconsistent evaluations, and misalignment with engineering and compliance timelines. Without a standardized roadmap, teams default to reactive reviews instead of proactive strategy enablement.
