What is the Risk-Managed AI Use Case Triage course about?

AI pilots are launching across departments, but audit teams lack a standardized way to triage which use cases warrant scrutiny, which can proceed with light oversight, and which must be paused. Without a clear framework, teams default to reactive reviews or broad blockers, undermining trust and slowing value. Practitioners need a repeatable, risk-based method that balances innovation with accountability.
