Qualifications
The qualifications we develop are underpinned by a number of principles. Assessments should be practical where possible, allowing learners to demonstrate their competency. Ethics in AI and more generally should be an underpinning part of the learning. All qualifications should have a progression route, whether that is to employment or to a higher-level qualification
About Us
SAIGE is a new institution specialising in artificial intelligence and its related fields. We provide qualifications, membership, events and consultancy - for educational institutions, employers, practitioners and learners.
SAIGE (Skills for Artificial Intelligence in Global Education) will change the way people access knowledge, understanding and skills about the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its implications for the individual, for the economy and for global society as a whole.
We want to democratise this access – making it available to all.
We aim to achieve this goal by supporting learning providers – colleges, universities, training providers and schools – with a suite of AI-related qualifications which will ensure that:
- Your programme offer is appropriate and contemporary
- You have an relevant suite of qualifications to meet your learners’ needs
- Your learners who are successful in our qualifications will be able to access excellent careers and higher education opportunities

During the last decade alone, the growth in the use of AI systems – across all its diversity, such as machine learning, natural language processing, deep learning, data science, biometrics, robotics etc – has been exponential. Its impact has already become apparent in many ways – the use of chatbots in customer service delivery systems, language learning systems such as Chat GPT, DALLE-2, Bard and Claude, the fields of robotics, the creation of the Metaverse, … the list is almost endless.
The pace of these changes has been relentless, and the technologies utilised ensure that this pace will increase even further as AI itself will expedite its own development.
What has not kept pace with these advances are the assessment of the ethical and other responsible implications of the use of AI. It’s impact upon the “bottom line” for individual businesses, i.e. its projected profits or business efficiency levels, are regularly measured but not, necessarily, the potential effects upon the individual, upon the wider economy, the outcomes for our legal systems and their applications, and the potential for change to our wider communities and society at large (what we call “human-centred AI”).
Our vision is a world where all individuals have the opportunity to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills in artificial intelligence and its applications, whilst also safely managing the potential outcomes of AI usage.
We aim, therefore, to become the go-to place for learning about human-centred AI – and we are determined to make our organisation, the place everyone goes to find out more about AI.
Our Qualifications
We provide both technical and non-technical qualifications which cater for both IT practitioners and individuals who require a broader knowledge of AI and how it impacts on their role, industry and society.
