The AI Safety Council offers three Professional-level certifications, each aimed at a distinct role in the safe and responsible use of AI. If you are wondering where to start, this short guide maps the pathways to the work you do.
AISP® — Certified AI Safety Professional
For practitioners who implement AI in safety-critical environments. If you put AI-driven tools into operation and are responsible for doing so safely, AISP is the core credential.
AIRP® — Certified AI Risk Management Professional
For those who manage AI risk — controls, assurance and risk programmes. Ideal if your work is about identifying, measuring and mitigating what could go wrong.
AIIP® — Certified AI Incident Investigator Professional
For those who investigate AI-related incidents, failures and near-misses. Ideal for forensic, audit and post-incident roles where understanding what went wrong is the job.
