About this microcredential

Welcome to the fourth industrial revolution, where artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning increasingly shape the business landscape. As these technologies continue to evolve, organisations and service providers face increased risks around liability, consumer trust and civil and human rights. 

For organisations, it’s critical that ethical decisions around machine learning and AI are driven by leaders rather than by technicians alone.

• the underpinnings of AI

• the importance of technological ethics

• the impact of AI on human rights

• ethical AI standards, frameworks and regulations

• challenges to ethical decision making.
