With this Course on Artificial Intelligence and Ethics addresses the Ethical principles in artificial intelligence and how this applies to society in which we find ourselves. He will begin by explaining the ethics, linking it to the artificial intelligence and the potential debates what this might entail. We will also discuss the governance such as risk prevention and control system for artificial intelligence, assessing the the social, ethical and legal impact of high-risk AI and the development of governance plans. We will then look in more detail at philosophical level, as regards sustainability and the environment, as well as how improve efficiency with any kind of practice involving the artificial intelligence. What’s more, you’ll have a a teaching team specialising in the subject.
