Introducing EXIN’s AI Compliance Professional (AICP) Certification

AI has reached a tipping point — and so has the way it’s regulated.

With the recent adoption of the EU AI Act, we’ve officially entered a new era of responsible and enforceable AI governance. It’s no longer enough to talk about transparency, ethics, and accountability — organizations now face real obligations, real scrutiny, and real consequences for noncompliance.

This is why today’s launch of EXIN’s AI Compliance Professional (AICP) certification couldn’t be more timely.

The Compliance Clock Is Ticking 

The EU AI Act — the world’s first comprehensive legal framework for AI — has moved from proposal to reality. Its implications are massive:

  • Strict obligations for high-risk AI systems
  • Mandatory risk assessments, documentation, and traceability
  • Fines up to €35 million or 7% of global turnover

So, it’s simple. Whether you’re in finance, healthcare, education, manufacturing, or public services, if you build or use AI — you are accountable.

Organizations across the EU and beyond are scrambling to understand:

  • What do we need to do?
  • Who will lead this internally?
  • Are we already at risk?

The fear is real — and growing

For many organizations, AI compliance feels like uncharted territory.

Legal teams are overwhelmed. AI teams are unsure how to translate policy into practice. And compliance teams are left asking: Where do we even begin?

At the same time, a wave of new standards (like ISO/IEC 42001, ISO 23894, and NIST AI RMF) is adding to the confusion — but also offering a roadmap. If you know how to use them.

That’s where AICP comes in.

Introducing AICP: AI Compliance Professional Certification by EXIN

EXIN AI Compliance Professional is the first globally recognized certification that integrates the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO 23894, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework into a practical, lifecycle-based approach to AI compliance.

Unlike other certifications that mention the law, AICP shows you how to comply with it.

AICP was designed for the professionals who will actually implement AI governance — not just understand it in theory.

So, what makes AICP really stand out?

Direct mapping to EU AI Act Articles 8, 9 & 10

Full AI system lifecycle coverage — from design to decommission

Real tools: checklists, assessment templates, control frameworks

Implementation-ready — not just academic

✅ Integrates ISO/IEC 42001, ISO 23894, GDPR, AI Ethics, and NIST AI RMF

Get the first-mover’s advantage

If you earn the AICP certification now, you’ll be among the first professionals globally with a deep, practical understanding of how to comply with the EU AI Act — well before enforcement kicks in.

What makes this truly powerful is that EXIN’s AI Compliance Professional (AICP) is the first certification to align directly with the EU AI Act — with focused coverage on Articles 8, 9, and 10, which define the core responsibilities for high-risk AI systems.

But AICP goes even further. It integrates the full spectrum of international compliance standards — including ISO/IEC 42001, ISO 23894, TR 24368, NIST AI RMF, and GDPR — and places them in a unified, actionable compliance context.

More than just theory, AICP is built for real-world execution. You’ll gain ready-to-use templates, tools, governance structures, and examples that help you apply AI compliance in practice — not just understand it.

If your organization is regulated by the EU — or builds for clients who are — AICP gives you a first-mover advantage that positions you to lead, not follow, in this new era of AI governance.
