AIF-C01 exam domains and weights
The AIF-C01 exam covers five domains. Their weights tell you where to spend your time.
What are the AIF-C01 domains and weights?
Domain 1: Fundamentals of AI and ML (20%). Domain 2: Fundamentals of Generative AI (24%). Domain 3: Applications of Foundation Models (28%). Domain 4: Guidelines for Responsible AI (14%). Domain 5: Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions (14%).
Which domain is weighted the most?
Applications of Foundation Models (Domain 3) at 28%, followed by Generative AI fundamentals (Domain 2) at 24%.
Why do the weights matter for readiness?
A high overall score from grinding one domain isn't readiness — it's a blind spot. CutScore weights your readiness by the blueprint and blocks the 'ready' claim until every domain is covered.
