Mapping to international standardsThe curriculum, clause by clause.

Where the programme’s units teach the clauses of ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO 45003, and the principles of UNESCO and IEEE on the ethics of AI.
  • 3 ISO standards
  • UNESCO · IEEE ethics principles
  • 61 clauses and principles

Where the programme’s units teach the clauses of three international standards, and the principles of UNESCO and IEEE on the ethics of AI. This is a curriculum mapping, not a claim of compliance or of anyone’s approval: the standards are written for organisations’ management systems and the principles for states and designers, and the programme prepares you to understand them and apply them where you work.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022Information security18 rows

The programme rests on this standard’s logic: Degree 4 starts from the triad of information security, and unit 5.3 applies the standard to small teams.

ISO 45003:2021Psychological health and safety at work8 rows

ISO 45003 is guidance, not requirements, and follows the structure of ISO 45001. The programme takes up the psychosocial risks that AI brings into work: fear for one’s job, changing roles, pressure and manipulation.
