AI and Ethics: Governance and Regulation

About This Course

This three-week course introduces you to the rapidly evolving and highly critical intersection of AI, ethics, governance, and regulation. As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into everyday decisions, understanding its ethical and regulatory implications is essential. In this course, you will explore the ethical principles behind responsible AI, examine real-world cases where AI raised serious ethical concerns, and gain insight into how global regulations are shaping the way AI systems are designed and deployed.

Each module combines easy-to-understand theory with practical exercises to ensure you gain both knowledge and real-world skills. Rather than just learning what ethical AI means, you will actively practice evaluating AI systems, designing governance policies, and creating ethical frameworks that organizations can implement effectively. By the end of the course, you will feel confident addressing ethical challenges, understanding regulatory expectations, and staying informed about emerging developments in AI governance.
