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
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.
Thanks to the generous donations from our community, CSA is expanding access, supporting nonprofit upskilling, and launching the full TAISE certificate. Your contributions make it possible to deliver the skills professionals need to responsibly develop, deploy, and decommission AI, setting a new standard for AI leadership worldwide.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Your donations are helping move the initiative forward by:
Enabling the final development of the TAISE certificate and future certification

Making early-bird and discounted access possible for professionals
Helping build a global network of responsible AI leaders
Why This Certificate Stands Apart
Developed by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the industry leader in AI best practices through our AI Safety Initiative, TAISE draws on a global network of experts in AI and cloud security to define the knowledge professionals need 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, leaders in industry-facing online learning. Together, this partnership delivers practical, trusted education for the next era of IT and cybersecurity.
Together, We Continue to Surpass Our Goal
Our community, dedicated to supporting and shaping the future of the industry, came together to launch the TAISE certificate and increase nonprofit access.
