This milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter. As a result, BABL AI continues to train professionals in ethical, responsible AI auditing.

Building Expertise in AI Governance and Risk

Gallegos and Mittal successfully completed BABL AI’s five-part online certification, designed to equip learners with the skills to:

Furthermore, the program combines theory and real-world application, offering a practical pathway to roles in AI compliance, audit, and ethics.

Student Perspectives on the Program

Gallegos praised the course’s accessibility and depth, saying:

“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. Most importantly, BABL AI created a welcoming environment for people regardless of professional background.”

Mittal echoed this enthusiasm on LinkedIn, noting:
