Comparison

TAISE certification ($795) is CISO security. AI Safety Certified is $199 for people who use AI on the job.

Get AI Safety Certified is the only plain-English, identity-verified certification that teaches builders how to protect people from the model — not the model from attackers. Safety = protect people from the model (accidental harm: bias, hallucinations, leaking PII, over-reliance) — guardrails. Security = protect the model from attackers (adversarial: prompt injection, breaches, exfiltration). Intent is the key distinction. Three tracks: security certs for CISOs (TAISE $795, CASO ~$2,199), research literacy (BlueDot / CAIS — apply, selective ~30h cohort, pay-what-you-want, completion cert, not workplace risk management), and this path — AI Safety and Risk Management for people who use AI on the job. Write the policy. Sit the identity-verified exam. We are not affiliated with BlueDot Impact or CAIS.

Common questions

How much does TAISE certification cost?

TAISE certification cost is $795 for a 20–30 hour enterprise AI security program aimed at CISOs. CASF™ — AI Safety Certified — Foundations Level is $199 AI safety training for people who use AI on the job. We are not TAISE.

What is TAISE certification?

TAISE is a $795 CISO AI security cert: protect the model from attackers (prompt injection, breaches, access controls). Despite the name, it is not an AI safety cert for people who use AI on the job. CASF™ Foundations is $199 and teaches Safety ≠ Security.

What is the cheapest AI safety certification?

CASF™ — AI Safety Certified — Foundations Level is $199. BlueDot / CAIS-style programs are pay-what-you-want with a completion certificate — not identity-verified and not a public GASC verify URL. TAISE is $795. CASO is about $2,199. SecAI+ is $404 plus training and Security+ prerequisites.

What is the difference between TAISE and CASF™ Foundations?

TAISE is a $795 enterprise AI security and governance program aimed at people already leading AI adoption in an organization. CASF™ Foundations is $199, 12 hours, no prerequisites, and focused on safety — how we protect people and institutions from the model — including writing an AI Safety Policy.

How does CompTIA SecAI+ compare?

SecAI+ is an AI security exam (about $404 plus training) with a recommended 3–4 years of IT experience. It validates protecting AI systems from attackers. CASF™ Foundations does not require IT years and does not claim ANAB accreditation today.

Is TAISE an AI safety certification?

Despite the name, TAISE focuses on security governance for CISOs (prompt injection, breaches, access controls). CASF™ focuses on safety for people who use AI on the job (bias, hallucinations, leaking PII, over-reliance). Intent is the key distinction.

Is CASF™ for CISOs, researchers, or everyone with ChatGPT?

None of those. Security teams need a security cert (TAISE). Research-curious literacy is BlueDot / CAIS — a selective ~30h fellowship on-ramp with a completion certificate, not workplace risk management. This path is for people who use AI on the job. Write the policy. Sit the identity-verified exam.

Is CASF™ the same as BlueDot?

No. We are not affiliated with BlueDot Impact or CAIS. BlueDot-style programs are research and fellowship on-ramps: about 30 minutes to apply, a selective facilitated cohort, about 30 hours, pay-what-you-want, and a completion certificate that is not identity-verified and has no public GASC verify URL. Their written one-pager is typically a personal career plan. Units sit in technical research literacy (evaluations, interpretability, control, catastrophic-risk framing), not operator policy. CASF™ Foundations is $199 workplace AI Safety and Risk Management for people who use AI on the job — free M0, write an AI Safety Policy, identity-verified exam, public verify. We do not teach protecting the model from attackers; that is TAISE.
