Question 1

What is difference between AI safety and AI security?

Accepted Answer

Security = protect the model from attackers (prompt injection, breaches, access controls). Safety = protect people, clients, and companies from what the model does (bias, hallucinations, leaking PII, over-reliance).

Question 2

Is this for CISOs?

Accepted Answer

No. Security teams need a security cert — look at TAISE ($795) or CASO (~$2,199). This is AI Safety for people who use AI on the job, not a CISO track.

Question 3

Is this for researchers?

Accepted Answer

No. This is not a research career. It is a credential for the job you already have if you use AI at work.

Question 4

Is this for everyone with ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Only if AI is part of your job. PMs, engineers, lawyers, HR, and founders who use AI on the job — not a casual-use course for everyone.

Question 5

Is M0 really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Live classroom videos, no login, 90 minutes of Parts 1–3, plus the policy template. Write and quiz stay in your classroom. M1–M5 unlock at $199 after the 80% quiz. Passing the quiz does not by itself unlock paid modules.

Question 6

What is AI safety certified?

Accepted Answer

CASF™ — AI Safety Certified — Foundations Level is the first plain-English professional certificate focused purely on AI Safety, not just security. Career credential plus a practical way to write AI Safety Policies for organizations. Built on NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and OWASP Top 10 for LLMs.

Question 7

Can anyone take it?

Accepted Answer

No IT years required — unlike SecAI+. It is still not for everyone: only if AI is part of your job. Designed for founders, PMs, compliance, HR, legal, ops, and engineers — not CISOs, not a research career, not casual ChatGPT use.

Question 8

How is it different from TAISE?

Accepted Answer

TAISE is $795, 20–30 hours, and focused on enterprise AI security. CASO is $2,199. SecAI+ requires years of IT experience. CASF Foundations is $199, 12 hours, safety-first, plain English, no prerequisites, with a Verifiable QR + LinkedIn badge and two attempts included.

Question 9

Is it recognized?

Accepted Answer

Your certificate is verifiable at https://www.getaisafetycertified.com/verify/{id} with a QR code. Valid 2 years. Renewal is $199, then the exam again, then a new GASC ID. Built directly on the frameworks auditors ask for: NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act. Add to LinkedIn in one click. CASF Foundations is a professional certificate; ANAB ISO/IEC 17024 is a later path.

Question 10

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

12 hours self-paced: 6 modules with video, reading, and 10-question quizzes. Then a 60-minute identity-verified exam (60 questions, 70% to pass, 2 attempts included). Most people finish in a weekend.

Question 11

What frameworks does it cover?

Accepted Answer

NIST AI Risk Management Framework (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage), ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act risk tiers and deployer obligations, OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, plus practical controls: Guardrails AI, NeMo Guardrails, audit trails, and red teaming.

Question 12

Will I learn to write an AI Safety Policy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That is a core outcome, not a sidebar. Individuals leave with a policy one-pager they can take into a company, school, or agency. Teams get EU AI Act deployer policy plus org playbooks. The M5 capstone is writing the policy, not just reading about governance.

Question 13

Are you affiliated with a university or BlueDot / CAIS?

Accepted Answer

No. We are seeking founding academic and institutional partners. The curriculum is built to partner with universities, research orgs, and standards bodies — including a future co-brand path similar to how open education programs work with universities. We do not currently claim affiliation with TAISE, Northeastern, CSA, BlueDot Impact, or CAIS.

Question 14

Is CASF accredited?

Accepted Answer

No. CASF Foundations is a professional certificate issued by Gabby Software Engineering LLC d/b/a getaisafetycertified.com, similar to DeepLearning.AI certificates. As of September 2026, CASF is not accredited by ANAB under ISO/IEC 17024 and not listed in CISA NICCS. We are pursuing both. Built to align with NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and EU AI Act — those references denote curriculum alignment, not government endorsement.
