Practitioners who build, deploy, and operate AI systems in production — not in notebooks. Engineers, ML practitioners, governance leads, and the teams responsible when something goes wrong.

Certified practitioners

AIDA, CPAP, and specialist cert holders who have demonstrated real PSF knowledge — not just completed a vendor course.

🔨

Production builders

Engineers and ML practitioners actively deploying AI agents, RAG systems, and agentic workflows in live production environments.

⚖️

Governance leads

AI governance, compliance, and risk professionals who need a technical framework they can actually implement.

🏢

Enterprise AI teams

Internal AI teams at companies navigating the gap between what the tools can do and what the regulators will accept.

The Production AI Brief

Stay current. Stay safe.

The Production AI Brief is a practitioner-focused newsletter covering production AI incidents, framework updates, and what's actually working in deployed systems. No hype. No demos. Just what matters in production.

What being part of PAI means

A credential that means something

PAI certifications are assessed against a published, versioned standard. Every AIDA and CPAP holder was tested on real production scenarios — not marketing materials.

See all certifications

Independent ecosystem intelligence

PSF assessments of every major AI framework. Not sponsored. Not promotional. Just: here is what the tool covers, here is what you still need to implement yourself.

A framework you can cite

The PSF is published under CC BY 4.0. Reference it in compliance documents, architecture reviews, client proposals. The standard is yours to use.
