Abstract:

The course focuses on identifying, analyzing, and finding solutions to ethical, social, and moral issues related to the application of artificial intelligence technologies. It shines a spotlight on the "dark side" and lesser-known aspects of big data, demonstrating how, alongside the significant opportunities and benefits these technologies offer, a range of ethical questions arise, such as concerns about privacy, customer trust, fairness, and at times, discrimination and harm to minorities.

Throughout the course, we will examine the ethical aspects of the field by presenting current examples from various industries (including high-tech, finance, healthcare, law, e-commerce, marketing, digital advertising, human resources, and more). We will also engage in discussions based on academic research, journalistic investigations, and videos.
