AI Ethics for Business

CDLI is proud to have assisted SU’s Initiative in Ethics and Transformative Technologies in the design of a free online short course titled AI Ethics for Business. The first module in this self-paced course provides an overview of selected ethical frameworks published by organizations focused on AI technologies. The course proceeds with a second module that investigates the impacts of data collection, machine learning, and human-machine interaction. The final module presents case studies on the users of technology – with a focus on those working in the tech industry. The course has garnered local media attention, so keep a lookout for an article in the Seattle Times.

Anyone in or outside SU can enroll in the course and start exploring. Participants receive a shareable digital badge upon submission of self-check quizzes and a short concluding reflection.
