Why AI Ethics? Why Now?
The era of "move fast and break things" is over. We have entered the era of Accountability.
The Regulatory Tsunami
With the EU AI Act and emerging US laws (CA, NY, CO), AI systems are moving from voluntary guidelines to mandatory compliance. Non-compliance risks massive fines and operational shutdowns.
The "Black Box" Problem
Most organizations cannot explain how their AI makes decisions. If you can't explain it, you can't trust it. You need a forensic methodology to validate Transparency and Accountability.
The IEEE Standard
Why CertifAIEd™? Because "good intentions" aren't auditable. IEEE provides the world's first engineering-grade criteria to measure ethical outcomes objectively.
Who Should Get CertifAIEd?
Designed for professionals bridging the gap between technical AI and ethical governance.
Product Managers & Strategy Leaders

The Benefit: Shift from "black box" development to verifiable systems. Learn how to measure and mitigate algorithmic bias using standardized criteria. Learn to visualize impacts of AI systems you build.
Prerequisites & Success Profile
1. Core Prerequisite (Mandatory)*
You must have at least one year of professional work experience in the use of AI in your existing business processes or work functions.
2. Technical Coding Skills: Not Required.
While a background in data or software is helpful, you do not need to be a programmer to succeed. The course focuses on governance, criteria evaluation, and assessment methodology.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
- System Thinkers: Professionals who can look at an AI system holistically—from data ingestion to user impact.
- Domain Experts: Individuals with experience in industries like Finance, Insurance, Government, Defense, and Pharma/Biotech who want to apply ethical standards to AI in their field.
- Critical Evaluators: Those comfortable analyzing documentation, asking probing questions, and evaluating evidence against criteria.
*Note: This is required by IEEE to obtain the Professional Certification.
