Summary and Next Steps
Requirements
This course has no prerequisites.
Who should attend?
We must continuously develop and refine the governance processes that enable trustworthy AI to emerge, while investing in the individuals responsible for building ethical and responsible AI. Professionals working in compliance, privacy, security, risk management, legal, HR, and governance, alongside data scientists, AI project managers, business analysts, AI product owners, MLOps teams, and others, must be prepared to address the broad equities at stake in AI governance.
This includes any professionals responsible for developing AI governance and risk management within their operations, as well as anyone seeking the IAPP Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) certification.
