Why this topic matters
Most AI audits go wrong before testing starts. Auditors are asked to "look at the AI" with no agreed boundary, no risk rating and no clear owner, and end up testing the wrong things or everything at once.
This session gives you the scoping discipline that prevents that: what is in scope, how risky it is, who is accountable, and which criteria you will test against. It is built for IT auditors, internal auditors and risk professionals.
