As the use of generative AI in business rapidly increases, companies are now under significant pressure to demonstrate both the effective use and management of AI technologies. To address this, the Japan Deep Learning Association (JDLA) has introduced a new system called "C Certification (AI Governance Core Certification)," designed to evaluate organizations' AI governance structures from an independent standpoint. This certification, which will launch in August 2026, emphasizes the necessity of a robust governance framework to enable the reliable and sustainable use of AI.

Considering the emergence of this new certification, many businesses may wonder:

- Who qualifies for this certification?
- What benefits does obtaining it provide?
- What initial steps should companies take in preparing their AI governance structures?

Our free webinar aims to expand awareness of C Certification and serve as a foundational effort in constructing AI governance in organizations. Elith and KIKAGAKU, recognized consulting firms accredited for C Certification, will offer insights into critical elements for achieving this certification from the perspectives of technology, security, and human resource development.

What Attendees Will Learn

During the session, attendees will receive a comprehensive overview of C Certification, including core aspects such as identifying the AI technologies in use, establishing a risk management organization, conducting risk assessments, and developing effective responses. Additionally, legal and governance experts will address how companies can comprehend and manage the risks associated with AI utilization to maintain safe and ongoing operations.

As a special benefit, all participants will receive a C Certification Preparation Checklist, allowing them to assess their current AI governance state and further their understanding of certification requirements.
