The IEEE Responsible Procurement of AI (RP-AI) Training is based on the IEEE 3119™ global standard, designed to help organizations purchase AI systems responsibly and reduce risk throughout the procurement lifecycle. This self-paced, 4 to 5 hour interactive course, equips procurement and business teams with practical tools to evaluate vendors, manage compliance for AI solutions to be built safe, explainable, and trustworthy.
The training includes 26 actionable tools, mainly addressing risk appetite analysis, vendor scoring rubrics, and AI procurement risk registers, along withtemplates, evaluation frameworks, and a copy of the IEEE 3119™ standard for hands-on application.
With the EU AI Act and growing demand for ethical, human-centric AI, RP-AI helps organizations and universities adopt responsible AI practices cost-effectively. The training aligns with global frameworks such as ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and IEEE’s Ethically Aligned Design principles, supporting compliance readiness and building trust in procurement decisions.

Testimonials
“I learned so much about the specific issues surrounding AI procurement in this course. The application of the IEEE standard (3119) offers many practical means to mitigate risks through a structured process and this course provides in-depth training on the application of the standard. I’m taking away valuable skills that will be very helpful in my work on Responsible AI.”
This course provided an insightful entry point into the complex world of AI governance and model risk management. While it served as more of a teaser into the space, it sparked my interest in diving much deeper into several core areas. I’m particularly eager to further explore the distinctions between explainable, interpretable, and understandable AI—especially how these concepts play out across different stakeholders and technical contexts. I also appreciated the way the course presented common AI clauses—from use case intent and data requirements to algorithmic controls and deployment supervision. It’s clear there’s much more to learn about breaking down AI documentation and evaluating vendor-specific governance language, and this experience gave me a strong foundation to build upon.
