Understanding AI Auditing through Core Concepts

Feeling overwhelmed by where to start with AI auditing? AI has moved beyond a mere technology trend and is rapidly expanding into corporate decision-making, workflow automation, customer service, recruitment, security, and risk management. However, compared to the speed of AI adoption, not many people systematically understand questions like: "Is the AI being properly controlled?", "Can we trust the AI's judgment?", or "What risks could arise from the data, models, and operational processes?" In particular, those working in IT auditing, security, internal control, and project management often face these concerns: - How does AI auditing differ from traditional IT auditing? - Is it enough to just look at the code for an AI model, or must we examine the data and training process as well? - How do AI governance, risk, bias, explainability, MLOps, and incident response connect to one another? - Where should I start to understand the concepts covered in AI auditing certification courses like AAIA from a practical perspective? This course was created specifically to resolve this sense of uncertainty. For about 20 years, I have gained experience in IT service planning, development, PM, collaboration platform operation, groupware construction, chatbot service planning, and security and audit-related tasks. I have firsthand experience in how systems are planned, developed, and operated in actual organizations, and how failures, changes, security, and user requirements are interconnected. Furthermore, I have synthesized the perspectives of IT auditing and AI auditing through CISA and AAIA study programs. In this course, rather than diving deep into complex AI technology through math or development, I focus on the core concepts that auditors and IT practitioners must understand. We will examine AI systems by breaking them down into the flow of data, models, operations, security, governance, risk, and audit procedures, and summarize what controls and checkpoints are required at each stage. Through this course, students will understand that AI auditing is not simply "evaluating AI," but rather the task of inspecting governance, risk, and control systems to ensure that AI is used safely and responsibly within an organization. This course is suitable for: - Those new to AI auditing. - Those in IT auditing or security who want to expand into the AI domain. - Those who want to organize AI governance and risk from a practical perspective. - Those who want to grasp the overall concepts before starting AI audit-related studies such as AAIA. Upon completing the course, you will be able to answer the following questions yourself: - What components make up an AI system? - What should an AI auditor check during the data, model, and operation stages? - Why are AI governance and Responsible AI important? - How are AI risk, bias, explainability, privacy, and security connected? - What perspectives and evidence should be included in an AI audit report? In the rapidly changing era of AI, the ability to manage and inspect technology to make it trustworthy is just as important as the ability to use it well. This course is an introductory program for those who want to understand the big picture of AI auditing step-by-step from the beginning. Let's build the first standard for looking at IT and AI from an auditing perspective together.

What you will gain after the course

  • AI systems can be understood by breaking them down from an auditing perspective.

  • I can explain the core concepts of AI governance and responsible AI.

  • You can create basic questions to identify AI risks.

  • You can organize the control points to be checked during the AI operation process.

  • You can understand the basic flow of AI auditing.

This is an introductory course for those new to AI auditing. It provides an easy-to-understand summary from an auditing perspective, covering everything from the basic structure of AI systems to data quality, model operations, AI governance, risk management, information security, privacy, bias, explainability, incident response, and the flow of writing audit reports.
This course does not simply explain AI terminology; it focuses on what risks can arise when an organization actually adopts and operates AI, and what auditors and IT practitioners need to verify.
It is designed to help those interested in IT auditing, security, internal control, and AI governance understand AI systems from the perspective of reliability and control.

Career Verified

This is Floria, making AI and IT easy to understand from an audit perspective.

For about 20 years, I have worked in IT service planning and development, project management, and the implementation and operation of collaboration platforms. Starting as a developer, I personally built UI frameworks and common modules. Later, as a PM and service planner, I planned and implemented groupware, collaboration tools, chatbots, and cloud-based services. More recently, I worked on data standardization, quality assessments, and audit responses in database consulting for public institutions. Having experienced both building systems and undergoing assessments, I learned firsthand how technology is planned and operated within organizations and where risks arise.

Currently, I am organizing knowledge and practical perspectives centered on AI auditing, IT auditing, information security, data governance, and digital risk. Building on my CISA and Information Systems Auditor qualifications, as well as my studies for the AAIA, I focus not merely on using technology but on "how to manage and assess it in a trustworthy manner." As a research member of the ISACA Korea Academy Research Group, I co-authored the book 『Why AI Should Be Audited Now』, for which I wrote about the current state of AI adoption across industries and its implications for auditing, as well as bias and fairness in AI algorithms.

My lectures aim to connect core concepts with practical perspectives so that IT practitioners, auditing beginners, security professionals, and planners alike can understand them, rather than explaining complex technologies in difficult terms. We go beyond simply learning the terminology to examine what should actually be checked and what controls should be established within organizations.

On the YouTube channel 「Floria IT & AI Note」, I also cover topics step by step, including AI auditing, IT auditing, information security, data governance, AI regulations and compliance, project management and digital transformation, and how to handle practical documents using generative AI. AI and IT are changing rapidly, but governance and controls for using these technologies safely and responsibly are becoming increasingly important. I will help organize and make sense of that process in an easy and structured way.
