Ethics of AI and Data Analytics

(1.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Artificial intelligence and data-driven decision-making have afforded unprecedented opportunities for value creation, while also introducing a complex set of risks for organizations and society. These risks extend beyond technical performance to how data and AI systems are designed, deployed, and governed—and to concerns about agency, dignity, accountability, privacy, trust, and safety. Grounded in foundational ethical inquiries, the course equips students to analyze complex, ethically inflected AI decisions in the light of individual actions, organizational challenges, social and regulatory environments, and operational realities. Students examine the ethics of data creation, collection, storage, use, and transfer in a landscape increasingly dominated by AI-powered algorithms.
