What is the Scalable AI Center-of-Excellence Building course about?
As AI systems influence more financial and operational controls, audit functions struggle to keep pace. Traditional checklists fail to capture model drift, data lineage gaps, and emergent risk. Without a structured approach, audit becomes reactive, inconsistent, and overstretched, especially when validating complex, enterprise-scale AI deployments.
