AI Industry Advisory Council

 Global expertise from education, industry, government, and research to uphold the quality, relevance, and integrity of all our AI certifications.

AI Industry Advisory Council

The council ensures that the standards guiding AI education remain credible, recognised, and professionally valuable for everyone who depends on them, from students beginning their careers to executives shaping organisational strategy.

Purpose of the AI Industry Advisory Council

The council acts as the formal governance layer that protects the authority of the AI Certified framework. It provides independent oversight, validates each learning pathway, and ensures that AI Certified programmes reflect global expectations for competence and responsible practice.

This structure ensures that certified learners remain credible and employable, and that organisations, educators, and policymakers can rely on a trusted and globally aligned standard.

Its core responsibilities include:

  • Reviewing programme content and learning outcomes to ensure rigorous quality assurance.
  • Confirming alignment with the European Qualifications Framework and recognised professional standards.
  • Evaluating new technologies, methodologies, and industry applications that shape real world competence.
  • Overseeing ethical and governance principles that guide responsible AI education and use.
  • Supporting research, partnerships, and international initiatives that advance the AI Certified mission.

Who serves on the advisory council

The AI Certified Industry Advisory Council includes senior academics, enterprise leaders, technologists, policymakers, and specialists in professional development. These members influence how artificial intelligence is adopted across sectors and ensure that AI Certified remains relevant for a global audience.

Representation includes:

  • Academia: Professors and researchers advancing applied AI, instructional design, and business education.
  • Industry: Senior executives responsible for AI adoption in finance, healthcare, technology, marketing, and operations.

Why the advisory council matters

Artificial intelligence is advancing at a pace that affects every learner, every organisation, and every public system. Without clear standards, professionals face uncertainty, educators struggle to maintain relevance, enterprises risk inconsistent capability, and policymakers lack trusted benchmarks for national readiness.

The AI Certified Industry Advisory Council addresses these challenges directly. It ensures that every certification is built on recognised academic and professional standards and that each learning outcome reflects current and emerging industry needs. This governance protects the credibility of certified learners, supports institutions seeking high quality programmes, and gives employers confidence that they are hiring individuals with verified competence.

For students, it provides a trusted entry point into an AI driven workforce. For managers and executives, it supports reliable skills development. For policymakers and educators, it establishes a stable foundation for national and institutional planning. Every stakeholder benefits from the assurance that AI Certified provides.
