SRC03-E01 — Deloitte AI Academy Curriculum¶
Extract¶
Deloitte AI Academy offers 30+ courses built on the Trustworthy AI framework. The curriculum "prepares professionals to assess risks, map critical decision points, apply governance, and safeguard trust throughout the AI life cycle." Responsible AI topics include: transparent and explainable AI, accountability policies, "robust reliability monitoring so AI systems can learn from humans/other systems and produce consistent outputs," privacy safeguards, and cybersecurity. The academy also covers "Constitutional AI principles and approaches to building AI systems that are helpful, harmless and honest" through collaboration with Anthropic.
Relevance to Hypotheses¶
| Hypothesis | Relationship | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| H1 | Supports — comprehensive training exists at major consulting firm | Strong |
| H2 | Contradicts — training clearly exists and covers risks | Moderate |
| H3 | Supports — framework-level coverage; unclear how much reaches rank-and-file employees vs. AI practitioners | Moderate |
Context¶
Deloitte is one of the Big Four and a major AI consulting provider. Their training represents the upper end of corporate AI education. However, the academy appears oriented toward AI practitioners rather than general employees using AI tools daily.
Notes¶
Notable that the curriculum includes Constitutional AI and Anthropic collaboration, suggesting engagement with alignment concepts. However, the gap between what the academy teaches AI specialists and what general employees encounter remains unclear. The Trustworthy AI framework emphasizes governance and reliability but does not appear to specifically address sycophancy or behavioral tendencies.
