5 Reasons to Get GARP Risk & AI (RAI) Certified in 2026

Is the GARP Risk and AI (RAI) Certification worth pursuing in 2026? In this video, I share 5 reasons why the certification can be valuable, especially for professionals working in AI, risk, finance, governance, and Responsible AI. We discuss the strong technical AI coverage of the RAI curriculum, including classical AI, machine learning, generative AI and agentic AI. I also explain why GARP’s experience behind the globally recognized FRM certification adds credibility to RAI, the growing demand for AI risk and governance skills, its strong alignment with the financial services industry, and some practical benefits such as official study material being included with exam registration and no ongoing certification maintenance requirements. Having worked in data science for around 10 years, one of the biggest advantages I personally see in RAI is that it pushes AI governance professionals to actually understand the technology behind AI rather than only studying policies and risks.
