Bitkom Consult Introduces New AI Management Auditor Course
The demand for qualified auditors for AI management systems is on the rise, as more companies integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their operations. Recognising this need, Bitkom Consult has launched a new auditor course specifically designed for AI Management. This course aims to prepare companies to responsibly use AI in compliance with the ISO/IEC 42001 standard, the world's first standard for AI management systems.
The ISO/IEC 42001 standard establishes a framework for responsible AI use, addressing risks such as bias, data protection, transparency, and ongoing monitoring. Bitkom’s auditor course equips participants with the knowledge to audit organisations' AI systems based on these principles and helps companies establish compliance processes to meet the standard's requirements.
The course covers various aspects, including training on ethical AI principles, data protection, bias avoidance, and transparency. Participants will also develop audit skills to verify compliance and maturity of AI governance, learn how to create and maintain transparent decision-making processes, ensure data security, and monitor AI systems continuously for compliance and ethical operation.
Bitkom’s course is designed for specialists and managers from IT, compliance, data protection, quality management, internal and external auditors. Upon successful completion, participants receive a recognized certificate as auditors for AI management systems.
This approach aligns with broader recommendations for responsible AI use, emphasizing ethical AI codes, avoiding bias, ensuring GDPR compliance, continuous audits, and embedding AI governance into company culture and enterprise architecture. By transitioning from AI pilot projects to sustained, compliant AI operations with structured, internationally recognized management systems under ISO/IEC 42001, companies can ensure their AI initiatives are secure, ethical, and compliant with global standards.
Bitkom Consult, with its expertise in IT security, AI, and digital transformation, also offers further training, workshops, and mediation services. The company advises startups, SMEs, and corporations on all legal, technological, and organizational aspects of data protection. In addition, Bitkom Consult can act as a consultant or external data protection officer for a company.
As more German companies invest in AI, this new course from Bitkom Consult will play a crucial role in ensuring their AI initiatives are secure, ethical, and compliant, thereby mitigating risks and fostering trust in AI solutions.
