The rapid rise of Generative AI has focused our collective attention on the promise and peril of an AI-fueled society. With equal parts excitement and trepidation, we find ourselves asking how to build a future augmented by the potential benefits of AI, while avoiding its pitfalls.
Every day we hear more about the potential of AI-powered systems to transform how we work, communicate, create, solve problems, and even diagnose and treat illness. The possibilities of advanced AI seem to be unlimited. But without proper testing, evaluation, validation, and verification at each stage of AI development, foundational AI models could perpetuate biases and amplify other societal challenges that will cascade through later systems and remain for decades.
We must continue to build and refine the governance processes through which trustworthy AI will emerge, and we must invest in the people who will build ethical and responsible AI. Those who work in Compliance, Risk Management, Legal and Governance, together with Data Scientists, AI Project Managers, Model Ops teams and others need to be prepared to tackle the expanded equities at issue in AI Governance.
To meet this demand, the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) has developed the Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) certification and training for the emerging AI Governance profession. An AIGP trained and certified professional will know how to implement and effectively communicate across teams the emerging best practices and rules for responsible management of an AI ecosystem. We are privileged to grow a community of credentialed AI Governance professionals, through which resources and expanding knowledge can be brought together in one place.
Participants who wish to sit for the examination offered by IAPP can purchase a one-time exam voucher at a special rate directly from Straits Interactive. Please refer to Fee/Funding tab for more details.
