Earlier this week, the IAPP released its AI Governance Professional Body of Knowledge, the foundational document for the upcoming AIGP certification.

The report from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) is available here. The Body of Knowledge (BoK) documents the information and skills that will be assessed on the upcoming AI Governance Professional (AIGP) certification exam, with six main parts showcasing the activities an AI governance professional should undertake to guide AI implementation in a way that mitigates risk and ensures safety and trust.

“We hope it serves as a useful document for anybody who’s thinking about the entire breadth of AI governance,” said IAPP Certification Director Doug Forman, adding “in this rapidly changing world” updates are expected and will be reviewed every six months.

In future iterations, the BoK will include “Exam Blueprint numbers” that show the number of questions from each part that will be found on the AIGP certification exam.

“If it’s on the (BoK), we expect people to have a degree of familiarity with the content,” Forman said.

The BoK covers the fundamentals of machine learning, the uniqueness of AI, evolving safety research, as well as the integration of the EU AI Act and other regulatory obligations, Kutterer said.

In developing the document, the IAPP’s certification team engaged leading global voices in the fields of privacy, law, ethics, academia, computer science and more, which Forman said is “reflected in how inclusive the (BoK) is of the different kinds of content we have.”

Those writing the certification exam questions “are also really a curated group of people who are at the very top of their fields.”
