About The Series
The CIVICA Data Science Seminar Series is a forum that brings together interdisciplinary experts working on novel methodological approaches that leverage new forms of data to address complex societal challenges.
Session 7 - Spring 2023 Details
In this session we explore the new AI global Professional Accreditation, established by the Institute of Science and Technology, and why it has been developed for technical and non-technical professionals. Being involved in AI and modelling affecting society means you need to not only showcase your skills but prove that you have robust methodology when it comes to your practice, whether you are a philosophy advisor or a computer scientist.
This new professional accreditation gives you the ability to showcase skills and evidence that you meet benchmarks for your practice. You can also access a wealth of guidance through personal and professional development opportunities within the Institute of Science and Technology.
