In an effort to empower responsible AI, help safeguard the ethical development and deployment of Autonomous Intelligent Systems, and allow organisations to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy, as per the mandate of the EU AI Act, the Institute of Informatics & Telecommunications (IIT) at NCSR Demokritos in collaboration with IEEE SA are offering a series of professional trainings leading to IEEE certification as an AI ethics assessor (IEEE CertifAIEd™).

The first round of trainings begins with a 1-day taster condensed training titled AI Ethics Assessment Overview: ΙΕΕΕ CertifAIEd™ Foundation taking place on 20 and 21 March 2025.

Additional trainings will soon be organised (dates to be announced) for interested persons to become IEEE CertifAIEd authorised or Lead AI Ethics Assessor which entails 3.5 days of comprehensive training (IEEE_CertifAIEd_Training Flyer).

Each training session has a limited number of participants to ensure a high-quality experience.

The AI Ethics Assessment Overview: IEEE CertifAIEd™ Foundations training course introduces AI ethics and demonstrates how the IEEE CertifAIEd™ ethical AI Assessment methodology and framework can help evaluate the ethicality of AI systems and enterprise AI products.

The course discusses the impact of emerging AI regulations and public policy and how the IEEE CertifAIEd framework addresses these issues. This one day training is adapted from the successful IEEE CertifAIEd Authorised Assessor Training, offered globally to hundreds of workshop attendees.

About IEEE CertifAIEd™ Assessor Training
As AI evolves rapidly, ensuring its responsible development and use becomes crucial. Organisations tasked with deploying technologies with embedded or hosted AI systems require the means to properly assess the ethical AI concerns and considerations to ensure stakeholders and end-users are treated fairly in the most trustworthy manner possible.
This training program enables participants to understand the need for ethical AIS, the principles surrounding AI ethics criteria, and provides an implementable framework and methodology for assessing the ethicality of AI-enabled systems.
Participants also learn the IEEE CertifAIEd™ methodology and how to apply it to an AIS assessment (e.g., assessment of a product that utilises AI algorithms or techniques).

About the ALIGN project, organiser of the trainings 

The Project primarily focuses on the implementation of technical protocols and standards for ethical and legal compliance of AI systems and models, with the IEEE CertifAIEd protocol at the core, as well as any related or derivative protocols. Additionally, in collaboration with IEEE, the Project provides training services on the IEEE CertifAIEd standard. Upon completion of the training, participants will have the opportunity, through a relevant examination process conducted by IEEE, to become certified IEEE AI Ethics Assessors.
