ACCA And CISI Collaborate To Equip Accountants With Ethical AI Expertise
ACCA and CISI partner to offer the Certificate in Ethical AI, enhancing accountants’ understanding of ethical issues in AI deployment, available through ACCA’s learning platform
The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) and leading global accountancy body ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) are working together to help the accountancy profession enhance its understanding of ethical issues when deploying AI.
Through this new collaboration, ACCA’s quarter of a million members will have the opportunity to study for CISI’s Certificate in Ethical AI. AI experts at ACCA contributed content to the certificate, which will be available on ACCA Learning, its dedicated continuing learning platform for finance professionals.
Educational charity and professional body the CISI has a global membership of over 53,000 based in over 100 countries. The Institute offers qualifications and lifelong e-learning opportunities for those working or aspiring to work in the capital markets, financial planning and wealth management professions.
The CISI launched its Certificate in Ethical Artificial Intelligence in November last year as part of its campaign to champion ethics and transparency in the use of AI. The Certificate was introduced as part of Lord Mayor Michael Mainelli’s ethical AI initiative with key input from the steering group for this project. Michael is a Chartered Honorary Fellow of the CISI and also a Fellow of ACCA and of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, which has developed a parallel qualification as part of his initiative, focusing on the technical aspects.
