The practitioner credential for your AI framework.
Every government adopting AI governance asks the same question: how do we know the people implementing this are qualified? GAISB certification answers that question with a vendor-neutral, practitioner-governed credential aligned to the four global rulebooks. Every domain is citable, auditable, and publicly governed under bylaws.
Vendor-neutral. Practitioner-governed. Publicly mapped.
The four foundational frameworks for AI governance — NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, the OECD AI Principles — converge on a common requirement: workforce competence. GAISB certification is a personnel credential built to evidence that requirement.
No platform has a stake.
GAISB is constitutionally vendor-neutral. The credential references AI principles and patterns, never specific platforms. Holders demonstrate competence with whatever tools their work requires.
Authority sits with the profession.
The Standards Council is composed of practitioners, academics, and ethicists — not vendors and not government. Bylaws available on request. Term limits and conflict-of-interest rules apply from full seating.
Publicly crosswalked.
Every CBK domain is mapped to NIST AI RMF 1.0, the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, and the OECD AI Principles at subcategory, article, clause and principle level. The crosswalk and the ISO/IEC 42001 dossier are published in the Standards Library and updated annually as frameworks revise.
Three reference patterns. Each citable.
GAISB is referenced in three patterns by governments engaging with the standard: as a workforce-strategy reference, as a procurement clause, and as a regulatory competence requirement. Each pattern has a model template, available on request.
Workforce strategy reference.
Reference GAISB certification in national or sectoral AI workforce strategies as a practitioner-level competence benchmark. Example: "Public-sector AI roles at the practitioner level and above shall demonstrate competence equivalent to GAISB AI Practitioner™ or higher."
Procurement clause.
Embed GAISB credential holders as a vendor-team competence requirement in AI procurement. Example: "AI vendor proposals shall identify the named GAISB credential holder responsible for technical lead, with credential ID verifiable in the GAISB™ Public Verification Registry."
Regulatory competence requirement.
Require demonstrable AI competence for regulated activities — high-risk AI deployment, AI-mediated public services, AI in regulated sectors (finance, health, energy). GAISB certification is one citable evidence path among several.
Aligned to the four leading AI governance frameworks.
Every CBK domain is independently mapped to clauses in NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, and the OECD AI Principles. The full crosswalk dossier is in the Standards Library.
NIST AI RMF 1.0
U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. GAISB competencies map to all four functions — Govern, Map, Measure, Manage — with subcategory-level citation.
EU AI Act 2024/1689
Europe's AI law in force across 27 member states. GAISB competencies map to the Article 4 AI literacy obligation, the high-risk obligations in Articles 8 to 15, human oversight (Article 14) and the deployer duty to assign oversight to competent persons (Article 26(2)), and post-market monitoring and serious-incident reporting (Articles 72 and 73).
ISO/IEC 42001:2023
The international management-system standard for AI. 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.
OECD AI Principles
The OECD's intergovernmental standard on AI, adhered to by all 38 OECD members, 12 other countries and the EU. Every GAISB topic is traceable to at least one of the five values-based Principles and the policy recommendations.
