COURSE OVERVIEW
As artificial intelligence becomes more complex and more deeply embedded in business processes, organisations require qualified specialists who can manage AI systems responsibly and in compliance with regulatory requirements.
The AI Officer TÜV SÜD training focuses on the governance and management of AI systems, with a strong emphasis on practical implementation. Participants learn how to introduce, integrate, operate, and continuously improve an AI Management System (AIMS) within their organisation.
