📘 Course Description

This is not just another compliance course.
This is the world’s most advanced master-level program in AI Ethics, Compliance, and Governance built specifically for the Gaming Industry.

Designed by NGAITA LLC: Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Trusted Advisors, and aligned with ISO/IEC 42001, NIST 800-53, UNESCO AI Ethics, and OECD AI Principles, this 36-hour flagship certification surpasses offerings at Harvard Kennedy School, Stanford HAI, Oxford Internet Institute, and Columbia AI Policy Lab — by going deeper into hands-on compliance frameworks, real-world risk simulation, and AI-native implementation design tailored for gaming studios, platforms, and engineers.

By integrating the NGAI COE™ (Code of Ethics) directly into technical pipelines, monetization models, and AI pipelines, this certification equips gaming professionals, compliance officers, and developers with the tools to prevent scandals, lawsuits, and reputational collapse before they happen — while future-proofing for evolving international law.
