PECB and World AI X Ventures today announced a partnership designed to strengthen the Chief AI Officer (CAIO) Program by adding executive-ready training in AI governance, ISO/IEC 42001 (AI Management System), and information security—so leaders can confidently scale AI in real organizations with real controls.

World AI X’s CAIO Program is built around a practical outcome: executives leave with an implementation-ready AI use case, a playbook, and the leadership muscle to drive adoption. This partnership adds a key missing layer that many AI programs ignore: governance + risk + security + audit readiness.

Through this partnership, CAIO participants will gain access to new learning tracks and supporting material, including:

• ISO/IEC 42001 training (AI Management System fundamentals, governance structure, and implementation readiness)
• Information security and risk management concepts tailored for AI-enabled organizations
• Practical executive modules on AI policy, controls, assurance, and compliance alignment
• Optional pathways for deeper capability-building through PECB’s broader training portfolio in digital transformation and cybersecurity

Tim Rama, CEO of PECB, said:

“Executives are moving fast on AI, but many organizations still lack a clear management system, governance, and controls. This partnership with World AI X Ventures helps bring structure and credibility to leadership teams through practical training that supports responsible and secure AI adoption.”

Sam Obedat, President of World AI X, added:

“CAIO is not a theoretical course—it’s a leadership experience where executives build real use cases and learn how to lead AI transformation. PECB strengthens that experience by adding a governance and security layer—especially ISO/IEC 42001—so leaders leave ready to scale AI safely, defend decisions, and operate with confidence.”
