Prerequisites:
As this is not a foundation course, participants are expected to have:
- A foundational understanding of AI concepts and applications; and
- Prior experience or knowledge in roles related to AI governance, compliance, or risk management;
- Familiar with industry-standard AI frameworks and guidelines; and
- Tertiary qualifications; and/or

Overview
Every day we hear more about the potential of AI-powered systems that will transform how we work, create, solve problems, communicate, and even diagnose and treat illness. The possibilities of advanced AI seem 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 must 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 the 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.
Purpose of the Course
This course provides structured preparation for the IAPP AIGP certification examination. Please note that the AIGP examination is not included and must be registered for separately with IAPP.
The course is also suitable for participants who do not intend to take the AIGP certification examination but wish to develop a holistic and practical understanding of AI governance or their professional roles or organisational responsibilities.
Important Information on IAPP AIGP Certification and Costs that participants should note:
- The AIGP certification is awarded by IAPP, an independent international certification body.
- The course fee does not include the IAPP AIGP certification examination fee.
- Examination voucher can be purchased at a special rate from our training partner Straits Interactive, an IAPP official training partner. More information will be provided on the final day of the course.
- Participants should consider the full cost of obtaining and maintaining the certification. IAPP certifications are maintained over a two-year certification term and are subject to IAPP's applicable certification maintenance and continuing education requirements.

- The official AIGP Participant Guide (digital format) via their IAPP account.

- Curated supplementary materials to aid learning and/or exam preparation.
- Additional exam preparation resources for participants who opt to take the IAPP certification exam.

At the end of the 3-day course, participants will be able to:
- Define artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning; understand overview of the different types of AI systems and their use cases; and position AI models in the broader socio-cultural context
- Understand the core risks and harms posed by AI systems, the characteristics of trustworthy AI systems, and the characteristics and principles essential to responsible and ethical AI
- Understand the existing laws that govern the use of AI, outline key GDPR intersections and provide awareness of liability reform
- Identify and describe global AI-specific laws and the major frameworks and standards that exemplify how AI systems can be responsibly governed
- Describe the AI development life cycle and the broad context in which AI risks are managed
- Explain how major AI stakeholders collaborate in a layered approach to manage AI risks while recognising the potential benefits AI systems have for society
- Be able to map, plan and scope the AI project, testing and validating the AI system during development, and managing and monitoring AI systems after deployment
