Ethical Considerations in AI
Building Responsible Technology for a Fairer Future
Welcome to Ethical Considerations in AI, a crucial course in the AI Essentials series, focusing on the moral and societal responsibilities inherent in designing, developing, and deploying intelligent systems. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives—from healthcare and hiring to policing and personal assistants—the ethical questions it raises demand urgent attention.
This course confronts critical questions: Who is accountable when AI makes a harmful decision? How do we ensure fairness in algorithms? What rights should individuals have over their data? And how can we design systems that uphold, rather than undermine, human dignity and social equity?
Through compelling case studies, interactive scenarios, and expert insights, you’ll learn to identify risks, recognize biases, and apply robust ethical frameworks. Our goal is to promote transparency, accountability, and human-centered design in all AI applications.
