Module 01
Personal AI Inventory
Every AI system touching your work, with accuracy risks named.
The program
Four weeks. Four arguments. One certification.
A sticky-scroll walk through the four modules of the Responsible AI Professional certification — what each one argues, what you build, and what you'll be asked to defend.
The frame
RAP doesn't teach you what to think about AI. It teaches you what questions are worth asking — and gives you the frameworks to answer them.
Module 01
Foundations
Understanding AI and Its Limits
How LLMs actually work — tokenization, attention, next-token prediction — and why every confident-sounding output deserves verification. We map the four governance frameworks (UNESCO, OECD, NIST, IEEE) so you know which one will be cited at you in which meeting.
Module 02
Core Ethics
Bias, Privacy & Ownership
Algorithmic bias has six entry points; you'll learn to name all of them. The Chouldechova-Kleinberg result proves you can't satisfy all fairness definitions simultaneously — so we teach you which trade-off you're making. Privacy frameworks (GDPR, CCPA, CARE, OCAP) don't agree on first principles; you'll learn where they diverge and which one governs your actual data.
Module 03
Societal Impact
Deployment, Labor & Environment
Most deployment failures are predictable. We work through 33 documented cases, build a deployment readiness checklist your team can actually use, and confront the carbon math: at scale, model choice is an environmental decision. Right-size or be ready to defend that you didn't.
Module 04
The Human Element
Authenticity, Relationships & Meaning
The hard part isn't the technology. It's what happens to attention, trust, and meaning when machines can generate anything. We close with the capstone — a governance document scoped to one AI system in your work, that your organization can act on.
What you leave with
Five artifacts. One credential.
Module 02
Ethics Assessment
Bias, privacy, and ownership audited against a real system.
Module 03
Deployment Readiness Report
Go/no-go decision with stakeholders, labor, and carbon math.
Module 04
Capstone Governance Document
A governance doc for one AI system, ready to act on.
