What is the Operationally-Sound AI Use Case Triage course about?
As AI adoption accelerates, audit functions face increasing pressure to evaluate complex use cases quickly and consistently. Without a standardized triage method, teams risk inconsistent assessments, over-auditing low-risk applications, or under-scrutinizing high-risk deployments. Current approaches often lack integration with control frameworks or audit lifecycle planning, creating inefficiencies and compliance blind spots.
