Back the Future of Trusted AI Leadership

Support the first AI safety credential built by CSA and Northeastern University.

The Industry's First Credential for Trustworthy AI: Pre-release Pricing Plus a Matching Donation

As AI transforms every industry, we need a new kind of professional who is trained in governance, risk management, and AI security. To fill this gap, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and Northeastern University have partnered to build the Trusted AI Safety Expert (TAISE) certificate.

This certificate equips professionals with the skills to develop, deploy, and govern AI responsibly, closing the critical workforce gap and setting a new standard for AI leadership. Your support accelerates global access, supports nonprofit upskilling, and helps launch the full TAISE certification. Get TAISE now at 50% off pre-release pricing, and we will donate an additional TAISE course to a deserving individual in your name.

What Your Support Makes Possible

How your donation moves the initiative forward:
  • Finalize development of the TAISE certificate and future certification

  • Donate training to mission-aligned nonprofits

  • Offer early-bird and discounted access to professionals

Why This Certificate Stands Apart

In a crowded market of AI courses, TAISE is built for real-world impact. Developed by the Cloud Security Alliance, the industry leader in AI best practices through our innovative AI Safety Initiative, we have leveraged a massive global network of experts in AI and cloud security to identify the knowledge needed to enable trustworthy AI.

To design this certificate, CSA partnered with Northeastern University's Institute of Experiential AI and its renowned Experiential Digital Global Education (EDGE) team, experts in industry-facing online learning. Together, we're delivering practical, trusted education for the next era of IT and cybersecurity.
