What You will Learn

  • Ethical Frameworks

    The ability to apply recognized Responsible AI principles (FTAS) to any AI project.

  • Bias Mitigation

    Practical techniques for identifying, measuring, and reducing harmful algorithmic bias.

  • Explainable AI (XAI)

    Tools and methods to ensure model decisions are understandable and justifiable.

  • AI Governance

    Knowledge of global regulations and best practices for establishing organizational AI policies and risk assessment.

Prerequisites

  • Foundational understanding of AI/ML concepts

    While not a coding course, familiarity with basic AI/ML terminology (e.g., model, data, features, prediction) is highly recommended.

Target Audience

  • Data Scientists and ML Engineers

    Professionals responsible for building models and who need to implement ethical checks and balances.

  • Product Managers and Designers

    Individuals who define AI product features and must ensure they are fair, safe, and transparent.

  • Legal and Compliance Officers

    Professionals tasked with navigating the complex and evolving global landscape of AI regulation.

  • Senior Executives and Managers

    Leaders responsible for setting the strategic direction and risk tolerance for AI adoption.

Course Details

Course Curriculum

Foundations of AI Ethics and Trust
Defining responsible AI principles, reviewing historical and current ethical failures in AI, and introducing frameworks for building trust.
Algorithmic Bias and Fairness
Identifying sources of bias in data and models, measuring unfairness (e.g., demographic parity), and implementing practical bias mitigation techniques.
Transparency, Explainability (XAI), and Interpretability
Understanding the "black box" problem, techniques for interpreting model decisions (e.g., LIME, SHAP), and communicating model outputs clearly to users.
AI Governance and Regulation
Reviewing emerging global AI regulations (e.g., EU AI Act, US regulatory landscape) and developing internal policies and risk management strategies.
Operationalizing Responsible AI
Integrating ethics reviews into the MLOps pipeline, establishing ethical audit processes, and creating cross-functional ethics teams.

Course Objectives

  • Immersive instructor-led sessions

    Participate in dynamic, hands-on sessions led by expert instructors to gain practical skills in a supportive learning environment.

  • Implement a Responsible AI governance framework

    Acquire the necessary knowledge to develop and integrate ethical and compliance standards into the AI development lifecycle.

  • Mitigate algorithmic bias in AI systems

    Learn to use technical tools and processes to identify, measure, and effectively reduce sources of bias in data and model outputs.

  • Build something real for your project portfolio

    You will complete a hands-on project (e.g., a bias audit of a sample dataset) that can be added to your professional portfolio to demonstrate your skills to potential employers.

  • Learn Anytime with Unlimited 1-Year Access to Contents and Tools

    Gain continuous learning with one year of unlimited access to all course materials, tools, and resources, allowing you to study at your own pace and revisit topics as needed.
