Drawing on real-world examples, it will equip participants to critically discuss and evaluate key issues and the trade-offs they create for developers, organisations and users in a balanced, evidence-informed way.
Topics include algorithmic bias and discrimination, environmental impacts, intellectual property and data governance, workplace and labour impacts, and the potential effects of automation on skills and deskilling of humans.
The course is designed for anyone interested in these questions and assumes no technical background.
