What is the Pragmatic AI Model Risk Management course about?
As AI systems become integral to decision-making, audit functions face increasing pressure to provide assurance, but most lack standardized approaches to assess model fairness, explainability, drift, and compliance. Traditional audit techniques don't translate cleanly, and technical complexity creates knowledge gaps. Without a pragmatic, repeatable process, audits risk being inconsistent, superficial, or deferred.
