This is a great question. My students are from all around the world, and a degree from the USA is no always considered sufficient. Professional certifications seem to help bridge that gap for many of them.
Mostly, I ask the students what they want to do. Have them look for jobs and find what certifications are needed, if any. This is harder in some parts of the world where job openings may not be posted publicly.
I use DOD 8140 as a guide as well https://public.cyber.mil/wid/dod8140/. I walk students through finding the jobs they may want and see what certifications my align - Login to view embedded media . The trifecta is not really helpful for most jobs, but a stepping stool to the correct certification.
I may be wrong, but I am just someone who likes to listen to Clouseau when I am grading

How will AI enhance security for the future?

CompTIA will possibly consider thisInteresting concepts that you've unpacked there. My only skepticism about AI, from a security standpoint, is that for every defense capability mechanism that AI develops/enhances there seems to be an an equally nefarious offensive capability that's developed in tandem. It makes me cringe when I see videos of AI automation of malware development.
Still on the subject of AI, here are a couple of useful resources I've stumbled upon recently, the caveat being these are vendor courses, so there will be emphasis on the vendor's products.
1. Securiti is offering free courses on AI governance , privacy Ops and Data command center fundamentals . I 've begun the AI governance offering
AI Security & Governance Certification - Securiti Education
Earn your AI Governance Certification, mastering key aspects of generative AI, global AI regulations, AI compliance, AI risk management, and AI governance frameworks.education.securiti.ai
PrivacyOps Certification - Securiti Education
The PrivacyOps Certification covers core concepts in data privacy laws, operationalizing data privacy, and the role of automation in simplifying data privacy management.
2. Cisco is also offering some AI courses. I 'm almost done with the AI Solutions on Cisco infrastructure essential. I must say it's pretty comprehensive but of course with the caveat i mentioned earlier. Personally, the course does blend well with Security X, especially with regards to application of architectural concepts
I would love to see a vendor neutral specialization on AI from Comptia. Anyway there is so much to learn......
