Introduction to the Course
Get introduced to the course in this lesson.
We'll cover the following
In this course, we’ll delve into the fascinating and increasingly important field of Responsible artificial intelligence, or Responsible AI as it is popularly known.
Artificial intelligence has become an integral part of our lives, transforming the way we interact with technology, make decisions, and navigate the world around us. However, as AI continues to advance, it brings with it a set of ethical considerations and societal challenges that need to be addressed.
With increasing regulations, customers are becoming more aware of their rights and are questioning the decisions made by AI models even more. We have witnessed an increase of levying hefty fines and lawsuits filed against organizations that have used AI to make decisions that impact customers.
How do organizations continue to benefit from using AI for growth while ensuring the ethical use of the technology?
This is where the concept of Responsible AI comes into play.
Responsible AI emphasizes the need to develop and deploy AI systems that are fair, transparent, accountable, and beneficial to society as a whole.
In this course, we’ll learn how to build trustworthy AI solutions that people can rely on. We’ll start by exploring the key challenges that make people sceptical of AI solutions and understand the core principles of Responsible AI, which will help us overcome these challenges. Through fun and interactive case studies, you’ll get hands-on experience using current approaches to navigate the obstacles in trusting AI solutions.
We’ll delve into the concept of fairness in AI and examine how bias can creep into AI systems at different stages. You’ll develop the skills to identify and address bias, ensuring that AI solutions are fair and unbiased.
Ever wondered how AI makes decisions? We’ll uncover the secrets behind Explainable AI. We’ll also explore different approaches that explain why AI models make certain decisions and guide you through practical labs using popular frameworks.
Did you know that humans play a vital role in AI decision-making? We’ll discuss how humans influence AI and explore innovative strategies like active Learning to make AI more human-centered. Get ready to broaden your perspective and contribute to the responsible use of AI.
Data privacy is another challenge in building trust in AI solutions. We’ll explore the best practices for protecting privacy and minimizing the risks associated with data leakage. We’ll introduce the fascinating world of synthetic data generation, where AI creates realistic but privacy-safe data.
Last but not least, we’ll explore how to ensure the safety and security of AI solutions. We’ll learn the best practices for building secure AI solutions and look into the emerging field of adversarial learning to defend AI solutions against potential attacks.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to understand what it takes to build AI solutions while prioritizing trust, fairness, explainability, human-centeredness, privacy, and security. So, get ready to embark on an exciting journey of Responsible AI.
