About
This course is dedicated to exploring the ethical, legal, and social implications of artificial intelligence technologies. This course examines key issues such as bias in AI algorithms, data privacy, transparency, accountability, and the impact of AI on employment and society. Students will engage with case studies and frameworks designed to address these challenges, learning how to develop and implement AI systems that align with ethical standards and promote fairness and inclusivity. Through a combination of theoretical discussions and practical applications, the course equips students with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complex landscape of AI ethics. Students will participate in discussions on policy, regulations, and best practices, and will work on projects that involve designing ethical AI solutions and conducting impact assessments. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to advocate for and implement ethical AI practices in their professional roles, ensuring that AI technologies are developed and used responsibly and equitably.
