IAPP AIGP Certification Exam Questions
AIGP: Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional
The globally recognized credential that proves you can govern AI systems responsibly — across ethics, risk, and the fast-moving world of AI law.
Explore Exam TopicsWhat Is the AIGP Certification?
Offered by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the AIGP is built for people who need to understand, implement, and oversee responsible AI governance. As organizations race to adopt AI, the credential signals that you can guide ethical deployment, manage AI risk, and keep pace with new AI laws and frameworks.
It was the first widely recognized certification to treat AI governance as a professional discipline in its own right — rather than a bolt-on to privacy work.
Who Should Sit the AIGP Exam?
If your role touches how AI is built, bought, deployed, or governed, this certification fits — across every industry.
AI Product Managers
Steering AI products from concept to launch while keeping deployment responsible.
Privacy & Compliance Officers
Carrying data-protection expertise into AI governance and risk oversight.
Legal Professionals
Advising on AI-specific law, from the EU AI Act to US state and federal rules.
IT & Security Teams
Building the technical controls and guardrails that span the AI lifecycle.
Risk & Audit Teams
Assessing AI risk, including third-party vendors and agentic AI systems.
Data Scientists & Engineers
Embedding governance into models from first commit through production.
AIGP Exam Format & Fees
A scenario-driven computer exam that measures how well you apply governance frameworks to real decisions — not how many definitions you can recite.

Key Topics Covered
The AIGP spans the full governance lifecycle — from foundational concepts to agentic AI systems and cross-border compliance obligations.
AI Foundations & Use Cases
Core AI concepts, system types, machine-learning basics, and how AI is applied — and impacts people — across industries.
Responsible AI Principles
Fairness, transparency, accountability, safety, and human oversight — and how to build them into development and deployment.
AI Laws & Regulatory Frameworks
Current and emerging AI legislation: the EU AI Act, US federal and state laws, South Korea's AI Basic Law, and the ISO/IEC 42005 impact-assessment standard.
AI Lifecycle Governance
Governance from data collection through development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and retirement — with the documentation each stage demands.
AI Risk Management
Spotting and mitigating risks: bias and discrimination, third-party vendor exposure, automated-decision harms, and high-risk system classification.
Agentic AI & Emerging Concerns
Governing autonomous multi-agent systems, privilege-escalation risks, feedback loops, and the accountability gaps agentic architectures introduce.
What's New in the 2026 AIGP Exam
The 2026 exam runs on Body of Knowledge version 2.1 — a real shift in emphasis, not a light refresh. Knowing what changed is essential for anyone preparing today.
Key Changes in AIGP BoK v2.1
How to Prepare and Pass the AIGP
Because the AIGP tests governance reasoning rather than recall, the best preparation blends the current Body of Knowledge with plenty of scenario practice.
Use 2026 Materials Only
Confirm your study guide references BoK v2.1. Older 2025 material misses agentic AI, FRIA, and ISO/IEC 42005 — all now tested.
Master the EU AI Act & US AI Laws
Legislation carries real weight. Learn the EU AI Act's risk-based tiers and how US federal and state rules interact with them.
Get the Role Distinctions Straight
Know how provider, developer, deployer, and user differ — and which obligations attach to each. Scenario questions lean on this constantly.
Study Agentic AI Governance
Understand the fresh risks agentic and multi-agent systems bring: privilege escalation, feedback loops, and accountability gaps.
Drill Scenario Questions
The exam rewards applied judgment. Practice mapping frameworks onto realistic situations until the reasoning is second nature.
Keeping Your Certification Current
Valid for 2 years — 20 CPE credits to renew
Once you pass, the AIGP stays valid for two years. To maintain it, complete 20 continuing-education credits aligned to the AIGP Body of Knowledge through IAPP-approved activities. Members have the maintenance fee covered by membership; non-members pay a $250 fee at recertification.
