GAICC AI Conference & Awards 2026 "Governing the Future – Building Responsible, Safe and Human-centric AI"
Students

Issued By Global AI Certification Council
AI now sits inside machines, vehicles, robots, process plants and networks, and inside the tools engineers use to design and verify them. When it fails, the harm can be physical and irreversible, and the engineer remains accountable. The GAICC EAIGP programme connects AI governance to the disciplines engineering organisations already run: functional safety, SOTIF, systems engineering, configuration management, verification and validation, OT cybersecurity and quality management. It serves OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, manufacturers, utilities, infrastructure and construction firms, semiconductor and telecom companies, and the digital engineering and IT services firms that build and validate AI for them.
The course runs over four days and 32 contact hours, in 19 modules plus a capstone across 8 domains. It moves from accountability and product regulation to safety engineering and lifecycle control, then assurance and cyber resilience, and finally oversight, agents and physical AI. Every module is built around cases from automotive, aerospace, machinery and robotics, process industries, utilities, infrastructure, semiconductors and telecom, and learners leave with a 12-template working toolkit.
A chartered structural engineer is asked to sign off a generative design for a pedestrian bridge. Decide what independent checks, records and limitations must exist before signature.
Build an inventory entry and decision-rights matrix for a predictive maintenance model at a utility, then review a supply contract for AI liability gaps.
Classify six systems, including a lift monitoring function, an AI quality inspection camera, a grid balancing optimiser and a dosing controller, and justify each route and date.
Run an STPA on an autonomous mobile robot in a semiconductor fab and specify its ODD, including lighting, floor and crowding conditions.
Decompose a pedestrian detection function into an ML channel and an independent monitor, allocate ASILs and list SOTIF triggering conditions.
Draft and peer-challenge a safety case fragment for a predictive maintenance model after a false negative on a critical pump.
Write a dataset specification and AIBOM for a weld inspection model trained partly on synthetic images.
Decide whether an OTA update of a perception model under R156 needs approval extension, and what the safety case must show before release.
Review a V&V plan for a plant control surrogate model and identify where digital twin evidence exceeds its validated range.
Design a run-time monitor that places an AI-guided crane into a safe state when model uncertainty or ODD conditions breach limits.
An AI coding agent writes regression tests for chip validation against a digital twin. Sample the tests, find oracles that mirror the twin, and set acceptance conditions.
Threat model a cloud-trained anomaly detection model feeding setpoint advice to a water treatment SCADA system, and redesign its conduits.
In a timed exercise, prepare the 24-hour early warning and 72-hour notification for an actively exploited model poisoning vulnerability in an industrial gateway.
Assess an AI-assisted flood gate control scheme for oversight timing, operator interface, fail-safe behaviour and engagement with mana whenua.
Hands-on controls for AI agents that touch PLC logic, SCADA and design release: verification levels by integrity level, least privilege, approval gates, kill switches and an agent registry.
Build a control matrix for an agent that proposes PLC logic changes and releases design packages, deciding which actions need human approval.
