What is the AIGP exam?

The Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) is a certification administered by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). Its Body of Knowledge is organised in four domains: foundations of AI governance; laws, standards and frameworks; governing AI development; and governing AI deployment and use. Candidates should confirm the current examination format, fees and policies directly with the IAPP.

Who is this AIGP study kit for?

• Candidates preparing for the IAPP AIGP examination in 2026.
• Privacy, legal and compliance professionals moving into AI governance, including those working in or with India.
• Risk, audit, product and Trust and Safety professionals who must apply the EU AI Act, the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.

What problem does it solve?

AI governance draws on law, standards, risk management and engineering at once, and the sources change quickly. Candidates often rely on summaries that disagree, omit dates or skip the reasoning that scenario questions test. This book puts the syllabus in one cited sequence, explains how each rule and framework works in practice, and says plainly where the law was unsettled. The kit then gives you enough original practice to find your weak areas before the examination does.

What does the AIGP book cover?

The book follows the four domains of the IAPP AIGP Body of Knowledge, version 2.1 (effective 2 February 2026), used as a topic map, and adds a part on examination preparation.

• Part I, Foundations of AI governance (Ch 1–7): definitions and types of AI; a technical primer on how AI systems work; risks and harms; responsible-AI principles; governance structures and roles; training, culture, metrics and reporting; life-cycle policies.
• Part II, Laws, standards and frameworks (Ch 8–20): data protection law and AI (two chapters); intellectual property; non-discrimination, consumer protection and product liability; the EU AI Act (three chapters, from prohibited practices to high-risk systems and general-purpose AI); US federal and state AI law; the UK, Canada, China, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and India; the OECD; the NIST AI RMF and Generative AI Profile; ISO/IEC 22989, 23053, 42001, 23894 and 42005; framework crosswalks.
• Part III, Governing AI development (Ch 21–29): design-stage risk assessment; architecture, human oversight and metrics; training-data governance; fairness and bias; testing and red teaming; transparency and documentation; security; release, conformity and post-market monitoring; generative and agentic AI.
• Part IV, Governing AI deployment and use (Ch 30–38): the deployment decision; DPIAs, FRIAs and algorithmic impact assessments; vendors, contracts and open-source models; operating governance; incidents and decommissioning; sector chapters on financial services, health, employment, education, the public sector, online platforms, Trust and Safety and children; an end-to-end case study.
• Part V, Examination preparation (Ch 39–40): strategy, study planning and a 10-question practice set.
• Back matter: glossary, four one-page Domain Summary Sheets, bibliography and index.

Chapters open with learning objectives and include worked examples, two "Check your understanding" questions, key terms and endnotes to primary sources. The law is stated as at 1 October 2026, including the EU AI Act amendments made by the Digital Omnibus on AI (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744) and India's DPDP Rules, and unsettled points are flagged.

How do the AIGP practice questions and mock exams work?

• Chapter bank, 190 questions: about five per content chapter, grouped by domain (Domain I 35, II 65, III 46, IV 44), with explanations and chapter references after each domain.
• Two mock exams, 100 questions each: four options, one best answer, short knowledge items and longer scenarios, spread across the domains in approximate proportion to the published weightings. Sit each in one 2 hour 45 minute session without notes.
• Workbook, 97 questions, and in the book two questions per chapter plus a 10-question set in Chapter 40.

Explanations say why the keyed answer is best and where to re-read. A mock score indicates readiness; it does not predict your result.

How should I study for the AIGP exam with this kit?

The one-page Start Here file sets out three schedules, each pairing chapters with handouts and bank questions:

• 4 weeks: Chapters 1–14; 15–29; 30–38; then Part V and both mocks.
• 6 weeks: roughly one part a week, with the mocks in week 6.
• 8 weeks: the same reading at a steadier pace, a revision week, then Mock 1 in week 7 and Mock 2 in week 8.

Who wrote this AIGP study guide?

Apoorva Sharma is a lawyer based in Mumbai, India, with more than eight years of experience in data privacy (including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023), Trust and Safety, and commercial and regulatory work. She has done that work at Uber, Junglee Games (Flutter Entertainment) and Adfactors PR. Her practice sits where data protection, platform safety and regulatory compliance meet, which is why the books explain how rules operate inside an organisation as well as what they say. The AIGP book gives India more attention than many international texts while treating the EU, the United States, the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions in full, and draws on lessons from Trust and Safety, a discipline that has operated AI classifiers at scale for years.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official IAPP AIGP study guide?

No. It is an independent, unofficial study guide written by Apoorva Sharma and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the IAPP. The IAPP Body of Knowledge was used only as a topic map. For authoritative information on the examination, candidates should consult the IAPP's own candidate materials.

Are these real AIGP exam questions?

No. Every question in the kit is an original practice question written by the author. None is drawn from, based on or intended to reproduce an actual AIGP examination item. The questions are designed to rehearse the scenario reasoning the examination rewards, and the explanations show why each wrong option fails.

Is the AIGP kit up to date for 2026?

The 2026 edition states the law as at 1 October 2026 and follows version 2.1 of the AIGP Body of Knowledge, effective 2 February 2026. It covers 2026 developments such as the EU AI Act amendments made by the Digital Omnibus on AI. AI law changes quickly, so check current official texts before your examination.

What is the difference between the Book and the Book + Mock Exams kit?

The Book edition contains the 607-page study book in PDF and DOCX. This kit adds the 116-page practice and mock exams volume, the 97-question workbook, ten handouts and a one-page README. Choose the kit if you want timed mock exams and a large question bank.

Does the AIGP kit include video lectures?

No. The kit is entirely text-based: PDFs and editable Word files. Each handout names the book chapters it supports, so the kit works as a self-contained programme of reading and practice. Every reading, handout and question referred to in the study plans is included in the download.
