【What is AAIA (Advanced in AI Audit)?】

With the spread of generative AI, companies are facing new risks such as "hallucinations (false answers)," "bias (prejudice)," "copyright infringement," and "data leakage." AAIA is an international qualification that certifies advanced skills to apply governance and conduct audits throughout the entire AI lifecycle to address these risks, which cannot be handled by conventional methods.

This qualification, certified by ISACA®, which has over 180,000 members worldwide, is positioned as an "advanced" qualification for professionals with foundational knowledge in CISA® (Certified Information Systems Auditor), CIA (Certified Internal Auditor), CPA (Certified Public Accountant), etc. AAIA holders are expected to become experts who understand the technical characteristics of AI, translate them into the language of audit and governance, lead risk management across the organization, bring transparency to the AI black box, and support safe operation.
