What is the Pragmatic AI Bias Testing for Audit course about?
As AI systems become embedded in core business processes, audit functions face increased pressure to provide assurance on model fairness and compliance. However, most auditors lack access to structured, field-tested approaches for identifying bias in AI workflows. Traditional compliance frameworks don’t translate directly to algorithmic systems, leaving teams to improvise without standardized tools or playbooks, leading to inconsistent findings and limited influence.
