Lead AI Risk Manager

//

Artificial Intelligence creates major opportunities, but also introduces new risks beyond traditional IT and cybersecurity: bias, explainability, security vulnerabilities, compliance and ethical concerns all demand a structured approach to AI risk management.

The Lead AI Risk Manager is an intensive two-day certification training that equips professionals to identify, assess and mitigate AI-related risks throughout the AI lifecycle. Based on frameworks such as the NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 23894, ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act, it prepares participants to establish effective AI risk governance and build trustworthy AI systems.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

[ Strengthen AI governance: Develop governance structures, policies and controls that enable responsible AI adoption across the organisation. ]

[ Focus is placed on identifying operational, technical, ethical, and compliance risks associated with AI systems. ]

[ Develop AI governance and compliance strategies. ]

[ Improve organizational resilience and responsible AI adoption. ]
