Certificate in Responsible Generative AI Governance

The Certificate in Responsible Generative AI Governance, a joint certification between Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore and the Singapore Computer Society (SCS), aims to recognise and certify professionals in Responsible Generative AI Governance. 

This certification equips professionals with the essential knowledge for the responsible implementation of Generative AI (GAI) in their organisations. It covers GAI's capabilities, limitations, and associated ethical risks, along with strategies for safe deployment. Learners will engage in prompt engineering to create relevant text and images. Additionally, this certification addresses key considerations in adopting, designing, and governing GAI solutions, focusing on the avoidance of common pitfalls and the management of security risks, including prompt injection and jailbreaking.

The certification comprises 2 courses:

  1. CET946 Responsible Generative AI and Applications
  2. CET949 Addressing Issues in Generative AI System Design and Deployment

Learners will complete assignments and/or quizzes after each set of relevant concepts, applying their knowledge to real-world scenarios. These assessments are crucial for tracking progress and reinforcing key concepts. 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 Responsible Generative AI Governance”.

The credits earned from these 2 courses can be stacked to NTU’s Graduate Certificate in Responsible Artificial Intelligence Practices.
