What is the Scalable AI Integration Risk for M&A course about?
As AI systems become central to valuation in M&A, risk-adverse boards lack structured, implementable frameworks to evaluate integration risk. Traditional due diligence lags behind AI-specific technical, ethical, and operational exposure points. This creates decision paralysis, delayed synergies, and unanticipated liabilities post-close.
