Advanced Certificate in Generative AI, Ethics and Data Protection

Generative AI is set to revolutionize business operations. Are you harnessing its power in your workplace to boost productivity and secure a competitive edge?

Perhaps your role involves governance or data protection, and you are charged with scrutinising the implementation of such tools within your organisation. Are you fully conscious of the necessary considerations?

We have developed the Advanced Certificate in Generative AI, Ethics, and Data Protection with the goal of shaping you into a trusted AI Business Professional. Our hands-on, non-technical modules are designed to equip you with the skills to use AI tools both ethically and responsibly, generating substantial value for your organisation.

While the benefits of integrating generative AI within your organisation—be it in an official or unofficial capacity—are substantial, the risks associated with using corporate and personal data with AI tools are equally significant and can drastically impact all aspects of your business.

With our advanced certification, our objective is to develop professionals who are proficient in using AI tools, while emphasizing the critical importance of data protection and data governance.

Hear from Kevin Shepherdson, CEO of Straits Interactive, as he shares his views on why there is a need for ethical use of generative tools and technology.
