Bridging the Gap Between Talent and Business through Chartered AI Engineer

By Koo Ping Shung, President & Co-Founder, AI Professionals Association

Dear Students,

 

Let me introduce myself, I am Koo Ping Shung. Besides my day-time job as a trainer, mentor, and consultant in the field of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, I had co-founded AI Professionals Association (AIP) and run tech communities here in Singapore.

 

Through the tech communities, I get to interact a lot with passionate talents and hiring managers who are looking to develop their Data and Artificial Intelligence capabilities. Despite the tremendous amount of training available out there, I often get the following question from passionate talents, “How do I know if I have learned enough to start a job in Data Science/Artificial Intelligence?” and likewise from hiring managers, especially if they are very new to the field, “How do I know if a candidate is adequately skilled and knowledgeable for the job?”

 

To match them up, AIP adapted and developed Chartered AI Engineer (CAIE), a professional qualification that can answer the above questions from both passionate individual and hiring managers. How?

 

CAIE is a professional qualification that is accredited by fellow practitioners. AIP publishes the assessment rubrics for each level. The rubrics have been shared and have received very good feedback from both experienced professionals and hiring managers.

 

On one hand, individuals who use the published rubrics can check to see if they are adequately skilled and knowledgeable. Moreover, it also helps determine the areas where one can further supplement their skills before applying to be a Chartered AI Engineer. The assessment process is overseen by industry practitioners and candidates are assessed by experienced practitioners and/or existing hiring managers who may be looking to hire.

 

As for hiring managers who are new to the field, they may refer to the assessment rubrics and be assured that the candidate that they are looking to hire, if accredited, will have the skills and knowledge equivalent to the published assessment rubrics. They can proceed to interview the candidate based on other requirements such as team-culture fit etc. rather than conducting technical tests.

 

Are you looking to join the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence field and find yourself asking similar questions such as, “am I up for a job in Data Science/Artificial Intelligence?”
