Mapping to international standardsThe curriculum, clause by clause.
- 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.
