AI+ Ethics Fundamentals™

Every AI system that makes decisions carries responsibility – and that responsibility rests with the people who develop and deploy it. Ethical AI competence means detecting bias, establishing transparency, and adhering to legal frameworks before harm occurs.

Key topics

  • Understand and assess ethical questions in AI and their societal impact.
  • Identify bias in data and algorithms and develop strategies for greater fairness.
  • Make AI systems transparent and their decisions explainable.
  • Know and apply data protection and security requirements when using AI.
  • Apply governance frameworks and ethical standards to your own AI projects.

Prerequisite
An interest in technology, strategy, and societal impact is all you need to get started – no specific IT knowledge required.

Target group
This training is aimed at everyone in IT, business development, compliance, or consulting who works with AI and wants to shape its use on an ethically sound basis.

Those who understand the fundamentals of ethical AI make better decisions, shape innovation consciously, and ensure that systems operate not only quickly, but also fairly and transparently.
