This course provides you with foundational knowledge about how AI works along with its advantages and limitations. You will examine predictive and generative AI systems and consider how they create risks like misinformation and bias. You'll explore AI's most pressing ethical and legal challenges, including issues like defamation, discrimination, premature automation, and the rise of counterfeit personas. You'll also access two critical frameworks — the risk-based and rights-based approaches — to help assess AI's ethical impact. You'll analyze real-world case studies in fields like healthcare and policing to understand how these frameworks can guide responsible AI use and protect fundamental rights.

By the end of this course, you will have developed a solid foundation in evaluating AI's ethical and legal implications. You'll be prepared to critically assess AI's role in your organization, advocate for ethical policies, and responsibly integrate AI into your professional field.
