What is the Operationally-Sound AI Talent Strategy course about?

As AI adoption grows, compliance functions are expected to lead, but without clear playbooks for hiring, structuring, or governing AI talent. Generic HR strategies don’t address regulatory risk, and technical hiring guides overlook compliance maturity. This gap leaves teams misaligned, initiatives delayed, and oversight reactive rather than strategic.
