This qualification develops the necessary knowledge and skills to strengthen AI governance by supporting safe and complaint AI adoption. It develops the capabilities to assess the conformance and implementation of an Artificial Intelligence Management System agnostically; with its family of standards; conforming to ISO/IEC 42001 and gain the understanding of the concepts which underpin ISO/IEC 22989:2023 as a normative reference in ISO/IEC 42001:2023, whilst building a risk management system based on ISO/IEC 23894:2023. As a risk-based standard ISO/IEC 42001:2023 provides the option of 38 risk controls that you may determine necessary for manging your AI risks. It will provide an oversight into how to implement these controls if they are necessary for the effective implementation of an AIMS and be provided with the understanding and tools to conduct an AI System Impact Assessment, either in isolation or as part of an ISO/IEC 42001:12023 AI management system.

The AI Governance Professional builds on the AI Governance Practitioner by developing an even fuller knowledge base, providing a more technical understanding.
