  • Map AI risks across the SDLC

  • Build control libraries aligned with ISO/IEC 42001

  • Run impact assessments and residual-risk scoring

Frequently asked questions

How difficult is the AIGP exam compared with CIPP/E or CIPM?
Most candidates rate it between CIPP/E and CIPT. The technical AI content is lighter than CIPT scripting topics, but governance scenarios require multidimensional analysis.

Do I need a technical AI background to pass?
No. You must understand concepts like training data, model inference and drift, but not code. The exam focuses on governance, risk and compliance application.

How many CPEs will I earn?
Passing AIGP grants you 10 CPE credits toward IAPP renewal, plus any training hours you log.
