AI Ethics: Global Perspectives

This course, AI Ethics: Global Perspectives is a collection of lectures on the ethical implications of data and artificial intelligence (AI) from different perspectives. 

As technology develops and they become more data-intensive and AI-based technologies, these perspectives can solve global challenges but can also form a risk to individuals and groups. As such, it is crucial to consider the ethical ramifications of AI use to identify and rectify harms.

This course is designed to raise awareness of the societal impacts of technology and to give individuals and institutions the tools to undertake responsible AI use. It is intended for current and future data scientists, policymakers, and business leaders. It is composed of 19 modules on topics related to AI and each module consists of a video lecture accompanied by additional resources. 

Modules include:

• AI Governance and AI in Government
• AI and Ethics Dumping
