Lack unified AI governance standards

Recruiters cannot verify AI competency because business schools lack unified governance standards. While institutions automate admissions and grading, the absence of shared benchmarks prevents universal accreditation. This policy lag forces hiring managers to implement independent technical testing for MBA graduates.
