What is the Practical AI Validation Protocols course about?

Mid-market teams often adopt AI tools quickly to stay competitive, but lack standardized validation processes. This leads to inconsistent outcomes, difficulty in audit preparation, and misalignment between technical execution and leadership expectations. As AI use grows across departments, the absence of repeatable validation becomes a systemic risk.
