Adopt AI at speed without losing control. The governance, accountability and compliance framework for organisations moving from AI experimentation to AI at scale.
ITIL® AI Governance (Version 5) is an extension module in the ITIL® (Version 5) qualification scheme. It gives you a practical, role-aligned approach to establishing oversight of AI, managing AI risk and meeting regulatory obligations, without sacrificing the speed and agility that make AI worth investing in. The course prepares you for the ITIL® AI Governance (Version 5) examination and certification, awarded by PeopleCert.
Most organisations are already using AI. Far fewer can answer who is accountable for it, how its risks are controlled, or how they would evidence responsible use to a regulator, a board or a customer. This course closes that gap.
Whether you are working towards ISO/IEC 42001, preparing for the EU AI Act, aligning to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, or responding to Australian and New Zealand government AI guidance, ITIL® AI Governance gives you a common language and a repeatable model to govern AI across the whole organisation, not just in IT.
ITSM Hub delivers ITIL® AI Governance (Version 5) as a live virtual classroom across multiple time zones, with onsite and private group delivery available. A self-paced online version is coming soon.
ITIL® is the world's leading best practice framework for digital product and service management, adopted by over 3 million professionals, trusted by 50,000+ organisations, and used by 82% of the Fortune 500.
ITIL® Version 5 is the latest evolution of the framework, designed for AI-driven, digital-first organisations. It expands ITIL® from IT service management to full digital product and service management, guiding organisations in managing digital products, services, customer experience and end-to-end digital operations in a structured and future-ready way.
AI governance sits at the centre of that shift. ITIL® Version 5 treats AI as a capability to be governed rather than a technology to be deployed, and ITIL® AI Governance is the specialist module that makes that governance practical.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept or an emerging technology confined to research laboratories. It has become an integral part of modern business and society, influencing how organisations operate, compete, and create value. Across industries such as banking, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, insurance, retail, education, and so on, AI-enabled capabilities are transforming business processes, enhancing decision-making, and enabling organisations to respond more effectively to changing customer and market demands. As digital transformation accelerates, AI is increasingly becoming a strategic capability rather than simply a technology investment.
Our ITIL® AI Governance course is designed for professionals and business leaders who need to adopt AI responsibly, ethically, and in line with compliance obligations. It focuses on the governance needed to move from AI awareness to value-driven outcomes, without exposing the organisation to avoidable risk.
ITIL® AI Governance is for all organisations and people aiming to accelerate success with AI. It provides practical guidance for governing AI responsibly, effectively, and at scale - helping organisations and professionals capture AI's opportunities while managing its risks. In a world where AI is becoming the default, it helps you:
establish clear accountability and oversight for AI across the organisation
balance innovation, ethics, and compliance without compromising speed or agility
stay AI-native while remaining human-centric, so people keep meaningful control of AI outcomes
scale the use of AI responsibly and turn ambition into measurable, sustainable value.
ITIL® AI Governance provides context, drivers, risks, opportunities and practical steps to embed AI governance, the module addresses transparency, accountability, risk management and regulatory considerations. It also supports the use of a common language across teams to align governance, build trust, and accelerate responsible AI adoption across every AI-responsible role in the organisation.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Understand the fundamentals of AI, governance, AI governance and describe the relationship between governance, management, leadership, corporate governance, IT governance, and AI governance.
Define key AI concepts and explain how AI types, characteristics, and the ITIL AI Capability Model influence AI behaviour, use cases, risks, and governance needs and understand their uses across industries and organisational functions.
Explain how AI creates value, supports outcomes, and introduces opportunities, threats, risks, and trade-offs across industries, organisational functions, strategy, transformation, and sustainability.
Describe AI risks, ethical principles, countermeasures, and how these shape AI governance requirements and controls.
Use the ITIL AI Governance Model and ITIL AI Governance Improvement Model to assess, stress-test, establish, adapt, implement, maintain, and assure AI governance.
Apply AI governance across practical scenarios, complementary frameworks, regulation, suppliers, external standards, third-party AI governance, and end-to-end delivery and operational environments
