AI Ethics and Responsible Practices through Case Studies

As artificial intelligence becomes deeply integrated into daily life, building systems that are fair, transparent, and accountable is no longer optional—it is a core requirement. This course guides you through the ethical complexities of modern AI deployment, helping you navigate bias, privacy concerns, and societal impact. You will transition from understanding abstract ethical principles to applying concrete, responsible AI frameworks in real-world scenarios. Through detailed written case studies, you will learn how to analyze algorithmic decisions, evaluate risks in large language models, and implement governance strategies that protect users and build trust. What you'll learn: Understand foundational ethical principles including fairness, accountability, transparency, and privacy in AI; Analyze real-world case studies to identify where algorithmic bias occurs and how to mitigate it; Evaluate ethical challenges specific to modern generative AI, including alignment and data sourcing; Apply practical framework guidelines to assess risk and compliance in AI-driven projects; Design mitigation strategies for common privacy vulnerabilities and data security risks; Explore modern regulatory landscapes and industry standards for responsible AI governance. The course begins with core ethical terminology and foundational concepts before moving into structured, written case studies that dissect historical and contemporary AI failures and successes. You will wrap up by practicing risk assessment methodologies through guided written exercises. This course is designed for beginners, developers, product managers, and technology enthusiasts who want to understand AI ethics without needing a background in advanced mathematics or coding.
