AIGP Frequently Asked Questions



What is the purpose of AIGP?


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.


AI governance is not a simple or straightforward task. It requires a multidisciplinary and holistic approach that considers the technical, legal, ethical, and social aspects of AI. It also demands a constant awareness of the evolving nature and impact of AI, as well as the emerging regulatory frameworks and best practices that aim to address the challenges and opportunities posed by AI.



Who should take the AIGP?


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.


AI governance professionals are those who have the knowledge and skills to guide AI implementation in a responsible and beneficial manner.


"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."


What is the meaning of AIGP in IAPP?


The Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional accreditation. The AIGP Body of Knowledge is divided into the following:

What is the AI Body of Knowledge BoK?


The AIGP Body of Knowledge set out the activities an AI governance professional should undertake to guide AI’s implementation in a manner that mitigates risk and ensures safety and trust.


The BoK is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in or involved in AI governance. It serves as a useful learning tool for professionals across various backgrounds who will assume new responsibilities as AI systems become integral to business operations. It also empowers professionals to acquire the necessary skills and certifications, benefiting not only business professionals but also those in the public sector and civil society organizations.


The BoK covers the fundamentals of machine learning, the uniqueness of AI, evolving safety research, as well as the integration of the EU AI Act2 and other regulatory obligations. It also provides guidance on how to conduct ethical impact assessments, implement accountability mechanisms, establish oversight structures, and communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
