The AI Governance for Business Professionals certification program provides business leaders, managers, and non-technical professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to responsibly oversee the use of AI technologies within their organizations.

Through three focused courses, participants build a strong foundation in AI fundamentals, risk assessment, and governance practices. The program begins with essential AI literacy, covering how AI systems work, their benefits, and potential risks. It then moves into practical frameworks for identifying and managing AI-related risks in business settings. Finally, learners are introduced to key governance standards, including the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, equipping them to align AI use with regulatory and ethical expectations.

By completing the program, participants will be prepared to recognize AI risks, recommend appropriate governance measures, and contribute to responsible and compliant AI strategies across industries. Certification is earned by completing the three courses, a practical capstone project, and a final certification exam.

Don’t just take our word for it

Here’s what our graduates have to say…
Thanks to the rigorous program at BABL AI, I am now equipped with the expertise to consult companies and governments on responsible AI. I can guide organizations in building AI products that prioritize fairness, transparency, and explainability.

Additionally, I can assist in sourcing AI products that adhere to responsible AI principles, educate customers about the risks associated with generative and discriminative AI, develop responsible AI governance capabilities, and collaborate with governments to implement responsible AI initiatives. My journey with BABL AI has been a remarkable one.

– Abhinav

Throughout the course, I gleaned a framework for the science, laws and critical thinking behind AI auditing. Dr. Shea Brown and his team provided an excellent balance of theoretical knowledge and practical applications so that I could feel confident in working with a team to identify, analyze and test risks of the systems all around us… BABL AI created a welcoming environment for people regardless of professional background. I felt confident in scaling my knowledge and skills without a science background and also in my lived experience being respected as part of the auditing process.

– Luna

I have done many training programs in the field of AI Ethics and AI Assessments and/or Audits and I can say that the AI and Algorithm Auditor Certificate Program from BABL AI is definitely one of the best on the market. Prof. Shea Brown does an excellent job both as Instructor and Mentor. Shea and the BABL AI team were always kind and helpful. We did a cohort based training as the first movers, I must admit that the cohort was amazing and made the training a great journey but it is also suitable for individuals who can do it on their own, adjusting their pace with their other responsibilities.

– Mert

What I particularly appreciated about this program was its ability to strengthen my understanding in areas where my knowledge was previously relatively limited. The content was not only thoroughly well-balanced, covering both foundational and advanced topics, but also very engaging and interesting. The unique nature of the program really stood out; despite my extensive search for similar courses, none matched the depth and relevance in risk management offered here.
