Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

The IEEE Standards Association offers the CertifAIEd professional certification credential. The association says that earning the certification (by completing coursework and passing an examination) “demonstrates a professional’s experience and expertise in applying the IEEE AI Ethics framework and methodology to their work profession.” Visit https://standards.ieee.org/products-programs/icap/ieee-certifaied/professional-certification for more information. Some AI ethicists may choose to earn certifications in software development and other tech-related topics from information technology associations. No licensing is required for AI ethicists.
