◆ The Core Difference
Every other AI certification is owned by one company. This one is governed by the profession.
GAISB is vendor-neutral and practitioner-governed. Standards are published in the open, and every credential is publicly verifiable in the GAISB registry.
Traditional Certifications
Centralized Authority
- Owned by a single vendor, company, or governing body.
- Standards written behind closed doors.
- Records held in private databases, revocable at will.
- Verification controlled by one institution.
- Updates set by a small internal committee.
- Trust is assumed.

The Architecture of the Credential
Three layers. One profession.
No competitor can reach all three.
GAISB credentials pass through three independent layers — each one binding, each one verifiable, each one impossible for a course provider, a vendor, or a platform to replicate.
Layer 01 · The Standard
01
Read the StandardAuthored by GAISB™.
The Common Body of Knowledge, the Code of Professional Conduct, and the GAISB examination blueprint are owned and governed by the vendor-neutral, practitioner-governed GAISB™ Standards Council — an independent body of practitioners, academics, and governance leaders, constituted under bylaws. Not a course company. Not a vendor. A standards body.
Layer 02 · The Path
02
See the PathEarned inside the official GAISB community - Prompt Atlas.
The GAISB credential is issued through a single official route: the GAISB™ program delivered inside Prompt Atlas — the official community of GAISB™. Self-paced curriculum, live cohorts, applied capstones where required, and governed proctored assessment. Each credential has its own path — see the certification page. No alternate route exists.
Layer 03 · The Proof
03
Review the WorkProven through real builds.
The GAISB credential is not awarded for attendance, theory, or test scores. It is awarded for demonstrated competence — verified through proctored examination and an applied capstone. All three core GAISB credentials carry an applied capstone. Essentials and Practitioner use a light single-reviewer rubric review; only GAISB AI Team Architect™ adds the four-reviewer panel and on-camera walkthrough. The credential certifies what you can build, not what you can recite.
In Plain English
What GAISB™ actually is — without the jargon.
The standard
We write the rulebook for what a qualified AI professional should know. That rulebook is called the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK). It is public, versioned, and open for comment.
The exam & path
Candidates study inside Prompt Atlas, complete applied work, and pass a governed proctored exam. The GAISB AI Team Architect credential candidate also defends their applied capstone by submitting a 10-15 minute video to a four-reviewer panel. No shortcuts. No vendor routes.
The proof
All three core GAISB credentials carry an applied capstone. Essentials and Practitioner use a light single-reviewer rubric review; only GAISB AI Team Architect™ adds the four-reviewer panel and on-camera walkthrough. Every credential is entered into the Public Verification Registry as a citable record.
Who governs it
A Standards Council of practitioners, academics, and ethicists governs the credential.
Why GAISB
The only credential built like a profession — not a course.
01
Governed, not sold.
GAISB is governed by the vendor-neutral, practitioner-governed GAISB™ Standards Council — an independent body of AI practitioners, academics, and governance leaders. The credential is not owned by a vendor, a platform, or a single company. It belongs to the profession.
02
Built, not taught.
GAISB AI Team Architect™ requires a deployed applied capstone (one completed AI project) reviewed by a four-reviewer panel. GAISB AI Essentials™ and GAISB AI Practitioner™ each include a light applied capstone.
03
Accountable, not decorative.
GAISB credential holders are bound by a public Code of Professional Conduct, enforced through documented due process, with suspensions and revocations recorded on the Public Verification Registry. This is a credential that can be lost. That is what makes it worth holding.
“Where vendor certifications prove you can use a tool, the GAISB credential proves you can think, build, and lead in AI — by the standards the global profession itself wrote.”— The GAISB™ Standards Council

Regulator Engagement →The Institutional Standard
Twelve pillars. One credential worth holding.
GAISB is built on twelve institutional pillars. Each exists because the profession — and the regulators, employers, and candidates who depend on it — deserves more than a claim.
01
Institutional Legitimacy
GAISB™ is the vendor-neutral standards body that defines, governs, and evolves the professional standard for AI.
02
Named Authority
The Standards Council is a public governance body. Founding Chair and interim governance are named; full 12-seat nomination is open.
03
Common Body of Knowledge
The CBK is a published, citable standard defining what every GAISB professional must know, do, and be accountable for.
04
Accreditation Standards
GAISB™ certification programs are designed with reference to recognized personnel-certification standards, including ISO/IEC 17024.
05
Framework Alignment
Every domain of the CBK is explicitly mapped to the NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, and the OECD AI Principles.
06
Exam Rigor & Validity
The GAISB examination is built to a published psychometric methodology (EXM-2026-01), blueprinted to a formal Job Task Analysis, with cut scores set by the Modified Angoff method. Psychometric results are published per administration cycle beginning Q4 2026.
07
Code of Professional Conduct
Every GAISB credential holder is bound by a seven-Canon Code, enforced through documented due process and an independent appeals procedure.
08
Continuing Professional Education
To keep a GAISB credential active, holders must continue learning as AI evolves. All GAISB credentials renew every 2 years through eligible continuing education completed through GAISB Club or other approved AI learning experiences.
09
Public Verification Registry
Credentials are issued by the GAISB Standards Council and recorded in the GAISB Public Verification Registry, non-transferable and bound to the holder. Any employer, regulator, or partner can verify a GAISB credential holder's credential, status, and professional standing at registry.gaisb.org — and every holder carries a LinkedIn-ready verification badge.
10
Employer Recognition Network
GAISB™ is meeting a global need: clear standards for the AI profession. As enterprises build AI teams, define AI roles, and strengthen governance, GAISB™ provides practical credential standards designed to support hiring, leveling, and workforce readiness.
11
Published Outcomes
GAISB™ will publish annual outcomes data — salary lift, placement rate, time-to-hire, retention. An elite standard earns the right to be measured. Next publication Q4 2026.
12
Global ATP Network
GAISB™ collaborates with a distinguished network of universities, community colleges, and accredited private learning institutions through its Global ATP Network (Authorized Training Partner Network).
Framework Alignment
Built on the same standards governments are adopting.
Every domain in the GAISB Common Body of Knowledge is mapped to specific clauses across the four global rulebooks for AI governance. One credential. Four frameworks. One publicly citable crosswalk (CWK-2026-01, Edition 1.0.1).

The Foundation of the Standard
The GAISB Common Body of Knowledge.
The authoritative competency framework for the AI profession. Published in full. Cite with attribution.
The CBK is the rulebook — the list of skills, concepts, and responsibilities every GAISB-certified professional must master. It is the blueprint for the GAISB examination, the basis for capstone assessment, and the reference framework employers, educators, and governments use to evaluate AI professionals.
The Edition 1.0.1 CBK organizes the practice of AI into seven weighted domains. Weighting was determined through a formal Job Task Analysis validated by an active practitioner panel drawn from our 203-member Prompt Atlas community across 21 countries.

The Personnel Layer for ISO/IEC 42001
Your organization can certify to ISO 42001. Only your people can be the evidence.
GAISB certification is the personnel credential that evidences assessed competence against ISO/IEC 42001. Per the GAISB Alignment Dossier (Edition 1.0.1), a GAISB credential is retainable evidence for Clause 7.2 (Competence) and Annex A control A.4.6 (Human Resources), with approximately 77% alignment to the normative body under GAISB’s published weighting (range 70% to 77%).
Clause 7.2
Competence requirement, evidenced.
Annex A.4.6

Professional Accountability
A credential that can be lost is a credential worth holding.
Every GAISB-certified professional is bound by the GAISB™ Code of Professional Conduct — enforced through documented due process, with public consequences for misconduct.
Every GAISB credential holder signs the Code at certification and reaffirms it with every renewal. Violations are reviewed by an independent Professional Responsibility Office, adjudicated by a Disciplinary Panel, and subject to a single right of appeal to the Standards Council. Sanctions — from reprimand through suspension to revocation — are recorded on the public Verification Registry.
This is what makes GAISB certification more than a certificate. This is what makes it a profession.
The Seven Canons
- I. Integrity and Honesty
- II. Protect the Public Interest
- III. Practice Within Competence
- IV. Maintain Confidentiality and Data Protection
- V. Avoid Harm and Unjust Discrimination
- VI. Advance the Profession
- VII. Maintain Current Competence
