The International Certification Body for Artificial Intelligence (ICBAI)

The International Certification Body for Artificial Intelligence (ICBAI) was established in 2021 in response to the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence landscape and the growing need for standardised professional qualifications in this field.

Founded in Leeds, UK, the ICBAI has quickly emerged as the preeminent global authority for AI certification and accreditation.
