AI Ethics and Policy

О курсе

As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into society, questions about how it should be governed have become both more important and more challenging. This course examines how societies translate ethical concerns about AI into policies, laws, standards, and other forms of governance. Learners will explore the complex governance ecosystem surrounding AI, from legal frameworks to organizational policies to social norms. This course covers broad approaches to AI governance around the world, comparing major frameworks such as those emerging in the EU and the US, and including topics such as data privacy and intellectual property, as well as emerging efforts to address societal concerns including discrimination, labor, and environmental impacts. Learners will also consider the role of governance beyond law, including how market forces, architecture, and norms can steer the direction of technology. Through analyzing research and policy documents as well as current events, students will learn to identify emerging governance issues, critique proposed solutions, and design policy strategies for responsible AI development. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Masters of Science in Computer Science (MS-CS) and the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MS-AI) degrees offered on the Coursera platform. This fully accredited graduate degree offer targeted courses, short 8-week sessions, and pay-as-you-go tuition. Admission is based on performance in three preliminary courses, not academic history. CU degrees on Coursera are ideal for recent graduates or working professionals.
