What is the Strategic AI Integration Risk for M&A course about?
Risk-adverse boards are being asked to approve AI-integrated acquisitions without clear governance models, leading to delayed decisions, compliance exposure, and integration failures. Traditional due diligence doesn’t account for algorithmic liability, data provenance, or model portability, risks that can derail even the most promising deals.
