Masterclass

Ethical AI

Practical Introduction to AI Ethics Management

As artificially intelligent algorithms are increasingly used in the course of automation in all business areas, answers must be found to questions about the fair and ethical use of AI.

Goals

  • The participants will learn what challenges need to be considered when using historical data to train an AI and why it is not advisable to automatically extrapolate this data to future scenarios.
  • In their focus sessions, the experts will answer the question as to why it is important to be informed at an early stage about the use of ethical AI and will give practical examples of both the successful and unsuccessful use of AI in international companies.
  • The workshop participants will receive an overview of current regulations on the topic, both at the national level and at the EU level and will discuss obstacles to the introduction of ethical AI in their companies.
  • Participation in the masterclass will enable the learners to implement AI projects, taking into account ethical guidelines, and will impart knowledge on selecting the right tools during the purchasing process as well as when operating AI software.
  • The participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the function of algorithms and how they interact with humans.

Content

The one-day masterclass will start with an interactive warm-up on the topic of ethics and everyday situations in which ethical issues play a central role and where decisions are made unconsciously. In three blocks, the participants will receive input in the form of targeted focus lectures, and the respective topics will then be discussed and elaborated in depth in subsequent group work. They will become familiar with areas of tension that can arise between the various stakeholders when introducing ethical AI and will work with other masterclass participants to develop requirements for selecting and implementing the right tools. They will also become familiar with the most important ethics algorithms and will learn where human-in-the-loop models are needed. With the aim of becoming capable of acting and speaking on these topics when dealing with ethical AI, the participants will learn which stakeholders must be taken into account and how ideal operation of ethical AI algorithms can be ensured. They will learn why the installation of an ethical review board is important for building an ethical corporate culture and will learn, based on current practical examples, what challenges need to be overcome when operating ethical AI.
