Ethics in AI Design (edX)

Robotics & Computer Vision

Learn how to incorporate ethics into the development and implementation of AI systems. AI systems have a great potential to improve society, across a wide range of applications. The challenge is to do so responsibly. AI systems can lead to discrimination, loss of human control and a lack of explainability, to name a few ethical dilemmas they may present. Because of the great impact that AI and Machine Learning has (e.g. ChatGPT by OpenAI, or the use of ML for medical diagnoses), we need to ensure that we design and use them in a way that meets ethical standards.
