Ethical AI

Course

In this course, students will learn how to approach and apply ethical AI. Coursework will enable practitioners to design and build models with enhanced fairness and limited bias to avoid unforeseen consequences and connect ethical AI concepts to critical issues in privacy, governance, transparency, and security. They’ll begin with acquiring ethical AI literacy skills that will enable them to engage in more meaningful discussions across AI disciplines and learn how to apply ethical AI principles to their organization. Students will then learn how to implement technical measures toward bias, fairness, and explainability to help ensure an ethical future for all.
