What is the Practical AI Bias Testing for Mid-Market course about?

Mid-market organizations are adopting AI faster than their ability to govern it. Without structured bias testing, teams face rework, compliance exposure, and erosion of stakeholder trust, even when models perform well technically. The gap isn't intent; it's implementation.
