Summary and Next Steps
Requirements
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Who should attend?
We must continue to develop and refine the governance processes that enable trustworthy AI, and we must invest in the individuals who will build 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, and model ops teams, must be prepared to address the broad range of equity issues involved in AI governance.
This is relevant for any professional responsible for developing AI governance and risk management within their organization, as well as for anyone pursuing the IAPP Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) certification.
