AI Bias Auditing and Explainability in Practice
Specialized Program on Responsible, Transparent, and Fair AI Development
Early access to the e-LMS platform is included
About This Course
“AI Bias Auditing and Explainability in Practice” is a hands-on, technical-legal program that bridges the gap between AI development and ethical governance. The program is focused on ensuring algorithmic fairness, avoiding discriminatory outcomes, and making AI decisions explainable to users, regulators, and stakeholders.
Participants will gain experience with bias detection toolkits like Aequitas, IBM AI Fairness 360, Fairlearn, and What-If Tool, as well as explainability libraries such as LIME, SHAP, Anchors, and Counterfactual Explanations. It includes both model-agnostic and model-specific XAI strategies, along with structured audit templates and reporting standards.
Aim
To equip professionals with the practical tools, frameworks, and methodologies needed to identify bias, conduct AI audits, and implement model explainability techniques that ensure fairness, transparency, and compliance in real-world AI systems.
Program Objectives
- Develop practical skills in bias mitigation and fairness metrics
- Promote transparent AI design practices aligned with global standards
- Enable technical and legal teams to co-create accountable AI systems
- Prevent reputational, financial, and legal risks due to opaque or discriminatory AI
- Empower organizations to implement end-to-end responsible AI pipelines
