Certified AI Officer (CAIO)
The executive role for governing AI responsibly, compliantly, and at board level.
Programme Overview
Artificial Intelligence is now embedded in core business processes — and with it, risk, accountability, and regulatory exposure have moved to the boardroom. Organisations are expected not only to innovate with AI, but to govern it transparently, responsibly, and in full alignment with the EU AI Act and related frameworks.
The Certified AI Officer (CAIO) programme is a 4-day executive training designed to prepare senior leaders to take formal ownership of AI governance, risk oversight, and executive decision-making.
This is not a technical AI course. It is a governance, strategy, and control programme for those who approve, oversee, or intervene in AI systems.
Key Learnings – What You Will Master
Participants gain the capability to govern artificial intelligence at executive and board level in line with regulatory, ethical, and organisational requirements.
Understand AI governance as a board-level responsibility rather than an IT function
Design and implement enterprise AI governance frameworks aligned with business strategy
Identify, classify, and manage AI risks, including high-risk AI systems
Translate EU AI Act requirements into practical policies, controls, and governance processes
Conduct AI risk and impact assessments covering legal, ethical, and organisational impact
Enable executive decision-making for approving, restricting, or suspending AI systems
Establish audit-ready AI governance, documentation, and accountability structures
Ensure compliant, transparent, and trustworthy AI deployment across the organisation
Why This Course Matters
AI is now embedded in business operations and decision-making, while the EU AI Act makes AI governance, compliance, and accountability an executive responsibility. Organisations using AI without structured controls face regulatory risk, non-compliance, and audit exposure.
The Certified AI Officer (CAIO) course equips leaders with practical skills in AI governance frameworks, AI risk management, EU AI Act compliance, high-risk AI oversight, audit-ready documentation, and board-level AI decision-making.
This course matters because it enables responsible, compliant, and trustworthy AI deployment across the organisation.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for senior leaders and decision-makers responsible for the governance, compliance, and oversight of AI systems, including:
Board members, executives, and senior management
AI, digital transformation, and innovation leaders
Compliance, risk, legal, and data protection professionals
HR, operations, and business leaders involved in AI-driven decision-making
Outcome
Participants gain the capability to govern AI at executive and board level, ensuring EU AI Act compliance, AI risk control, and audit-ready AI governance.
Graduates are able to approve, restrict, or suspend AI systems, implement enterprise AI governance frameworks, manage high-risk AI use cases, and demonstrate accountable, transparent, and responsible AI oversight across the organisation.
