Legal, Societal, and Ethical Implications of AI

1.5 credits · Engineering Professional

Deploying AI within products and services has implications well beyond the technical considerations, which often include change management of operational workflows or staffing levels, data privacy considerations, bias risks and other ethical implications, and industry-specific regulations on the use of data and models operationally. This course will introduce students to the key areas of consideration when deploying products which contain AI: 1) legal implications and industry regulation, 2) ethical considerations, and 3) change management and organizational/societal implications. Case studies will be used extensively to provide real-world examples.
