Introduction
The Certificate in AI Ethics and Governance, a joint certification between Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore and the Singapore Computer Society (SCS), aims to recognise and certify professionals in AI Ethics and Governance.This certification introduces AI Ethics and Governance (AIE&G) issues relevant to the many industries that exploit AI solutions. It gives an overview of the Singapore Computer Society’s comprehensive AIE&G Body of Knowledge 1.0 (BoK) document and proposes an AI Governance Framework for organisations that is built on the understanding of well-established guidelines for Responsible AI. This certification also discusses techniques that can help address ethical issues essential to the proper governance of AI and autonomous decision-making systems, which include issues of data privacy, biasness and explainability.
The certification comprises 2 courses:
Throughout this certification, learners will undergo assessments to evaluate their understanding and application of AI Ethics and Governance. They will be graded based on their performance. The result slip will be issued together with the course certificate upon the successful completion of each course. SCS Members who successfully pass both courses, and an additional final examination will be eligible for the award of the "Certificate in AI Ethics and Governance".
The credits earned from these 2 courses can be stacked to NTU’s FlexiMasters in Responsible Applied Artificial Intelligence.
This certification is offered in collaboration with SCS, who will reach out to applicants to provide more information about this certification.
