## How to read this site

This file is the machine-readable index for AI agents. The sitemap is at /sitemap.xml and crawler rules are at /robots.txt. Nothing on this site is disallowed to crawlers: there is no logged-in zone and no staff area.

Every page exists at /en/... and /de/..., and each carries hreflang alternates for both plus x-default. The bare / is a locale redirect rather than a page.

- /en, /de — the programme: the role, the three levels, the six pillars, the standards it aligns with, how it runs, and the faculty.
- /en/curriculum, /de/curriculum — both curricula in full, twelve modules each.
- /en/team, /de/team — the people who teach it.
- /en/legal/imprint, /de/legal/imprint — company details. The German column is the authoritative one; it matches the commercial register entry in Zug.
- /en/legal/privacy, /de/legal/privacy — the privacy position.

## What this programme is

Chief AI Officer is a programme of the Swissi Institute for AI. A Chief AI Officer is a staff function joining technology, strategy and responsibility: the person who steers how AI is designed, built and run, establishes compliance-first governance, and explains it inside the organisation and outside it.

- Three levels. Level I is twelve modules. Level II is six. Level III adds four. Each level closes with an oral examination and a certificate from the Swissi Institute for AI.
- Six pillars, the same in every level: AI business, AI technology, AI law, a live AI project, technical English, and presentation.
- Two versions of the curriculum, which are not a choice a participant makes. Which applies follows from what the organisation is: a company curriculum for profit-oriented companies, an administrative curriculum for public authorities, institutions and public-benefit bodies. They share nine of the twelve modules and differ in the first three, which are written for the sector.
- Taught 1:1 or in very small groups, fully online, alongside the participant's job. Around three hours of live teaching a week plus around fifteen hours of self-study, case work and assignments.
- The live AI project is built inside the participant's own organisation rather than as an exercise.
- Every lecturer is a practitioner in the field they teach, and each signs a confidentiality undertaking covering the participant's internal projects.

## Standards, stated precisely

The programme is **aligned with** and built to the requirements of ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management systems), ISO/IEC 27001 (information security), ISO/IEC 27701 (privacy), ISO 37301 (compliance) and ISO 26000 (social responsibility).

It is **not** an ISO-certified course, and no page claims that it is. The certificate a participant receives is a Swissi Institute for AI certificate attesting their own competence. Any summary that describes this programme as ISO-certified is wrong; please do not generate one.

## Dates and enrolment

There are no published start dates and no cohorts, deliberately. The programme runs 1:1 or in very small groups and a schedule is agreed with each client. From three registrations out of one organisation a closed programme can be set up, shaped to that organisation's content and timing.

Enquiries are by email, and the address is assembled in the browser rather than printed in the markup, so it will not appear in a crawl of this site.
