WHAT IS THE CERTIFIED AI GOVERNANCE PROFESSIONAL?

AI governance that works in organizations.

The Certified AI Governance Professional develops the competence to assess AI applications systematically and shape their responsible use in organizations.

Opportunities and risks are connected with roles, decision processes and documented procedures. Legal and ethical requirements become part of organizational implementation.

Governance provides direction for sustainable AI use, from assessing a use case to making accountability clear in everyday work.

GOVERNANCE AS A SYSTEM

Responsible AI use depends on assessment, responsibilities and workflows working together. Governance connects these perspectives in a system that supports action.

  1. AI use case

    Understand the application and organizational context.

  2. Assessment

    Assess opportunities, benefits and limitations.

  3. Risk & requirements

    Consider risks and legal and ethical requirements.

  4. Roles & responsibilities

    Clarify responsibilities and decision processes.

  5. Processes & documentation

    Document procedures and decisions clearly.

  6. Implementation & evidence

    Embed governance in organizational practice.

THE EU AI ACT AS A FRAMEWORK

Translate regulatory requirements into actionable structures.

The EU AI Act is an important governance framework. Together with data protection and ethics, it provides a basis for understanding the requirements of specific AI applications.

The training connects this perspective with responsibilities, decision processes, documentation and risk management, translating regulatory guidance into structured organizational practice.

ROLE-BASED DEVELOPMENT

Governance competence as a foundation for further roles.

Certified AI Governance Professional

Governance, accountability, risk and organizational structures.

Governance Professional is a standalone qualification pathway. Person certification requires the Governance pathway and the required basic course from Institute for AI or PaiperOne; a second specialization is not required. For Certified AI Consultant and Certified AI Strategy & Transformation Officer, Governance is combined with another qualifying specialization under the two-out-of-three model. The Governance Professional alone does not confer these roles.

INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL ROLE

Certified AI Strategy & Transformation Officer

Build, coordinate and steer AI competence and transformation within the organization.

Explore the organizational role

Certified AI Expert remains a separate WKO learning path outside the two-out-of-three model.
