Locked by prerequisite

This track opens once its prerequisites are complete. Prerequisites are sequenced deliberately: each one supplies a competency this track assumes you already hold.

Orientation

Why this matters

AI incidents rarely announce themselves. They surface as a wrong number in a report, a rising correction rate, or a colleague's unease — and the interval between first suspicion and first report determines how much exposure accumulates.

What you will be able to do (5)

Recognise the signals that indicate an AI incident
Report an AI incident through the correct channel within the required timeframe
Contribute to containment and impact assessment
Support root cause analysis that reaches beyond the model
Apply corrective actions and verify their effectiveness

Aligned with (5)

Maps to published expectations. Competency demonstrated through assessment.

Regulatory alignment indicates that curriculum topics map to published regulatory expectations. It does not constitute agency approval, certification, legal advice or a determination of organizational compliance.

View source evidence, status and applicability

ICH Q9(R1) — quality risk management

Harmonised guidelineICH regions; implemented through regional frameworks

ICH Q9(R1) — Quality Risk Management ↗

Relevant provisions: Sections 4–6 and Annexes I–II
Status and date: Step 4, 18 January 2023. Implementation depends on the relevant regional authority and regulated activity.
Why it maps: Supports the track's stated mapping to ICH Q9(R1) — quality risk management without transferring duties beyond the source's scope.
Applicability limit: Supplies quality-risk principles. It does not independently classify an AI system or prescribe one universal control set.

ICH Q10 — corrective and preventive action

Harmonised guidelineICH regions; implemented through regional frameworks

ICH Q10 — Pharmaceutical Quality System ↗

Relevant provisions: Sections 2–4: management responsibility, lifecycle elements and continual improvement
Status and date: Step 4, 4 June 2008. Implementation depends on the relevant regional authority and product lifecycle.
Why it maps: Supports the track's stated mapping to ICH Q10 — corrective and preventive action without transferring duties beyond the source's scope.
Applicability limit: Provides the pharmaceutical quality-system model used to place AI controls within governance, CAPA, change and management review.

EU AI Act — serious incident reporting obligations

Binding lawEuropean Union

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — Artificial Intelligence Act ↗

Relevant provisions: Article 73 — reporting of serious incidents
Status and date: Official Journal, 12 July 2024. Entered into force 1 August 2024; phased application through 2 August 2027.
Why it maps: Connects the lesson to the Act's conditional duties while preserving classification, role and application-date limits.
Applicability limit: Specific duties depend on system classification, actor role, territorial scope and the applicable date. No duty should be extended beyond those conditions.

EU GMP Annex 11 — incident and deviation management

GMP requirementEuropean Union GMP

EudraLex Volume 4, Annex 11 — Computerised Systems ↗

Relevant provisions: Section 13 — incident management
Status and date: Revision January 2011. Current Annex 11; came into operation 30 June 2011.
Why it maps: Supports the track's stated mapping to EU GMP Annex 11 — incident and deviation management without transferring duties beyond the source's scope.
Applicability limit: Applies to computerised systems used as part of GMP-regulated activities. Applicability follows the regulated process and intended use.

NIST AI RMF — manage function

Voluntary frameworkNon-sector-specific; international use

NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0 ↗

Relevant provisions: MANAGE function
Status and date: 26 January 2023. Voluntary; AI RMF 1.0 is under revision as of August 2026.
Why it maps: Provides a voluntary operating structure for the risk-management decisions practised in the lesson.
Applicability limit: Provides risk-management outcomes and practices. It does not create a legal mandate unless adopted through contract, policy or another authority.

Behaviours practised (3)

EscalateVerifyDocument

A reviewer notices that an AI tool has attributed a result to the wrong batch. It is the second time this month. Neither instance was reported, because each looked like a one-off — and the tool has produced four hundred outputs since the first.

Badge requirements (6)

Complete all six lessons and their knowledge checks
Achieve at least 80% across the final badge assessment
Answer every safety-critical question correctly
Classify every near miss as reportable
Place evidence preservation before containment in the response sequence
Produce corrective actions above the level of reminders with measurable effectiveness criteria
