Apply here

In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements, the ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have become increasingly complex and critical. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted ethical considerations inherent in the design, deployment, and impact of AI systems across diverse domains. By examining the intricate interplay between engineering designs, AI systems, society, and morality, students will gain a profound understanding of the ethical dimensions shaping design systems and the future of AI innovation.

This course delves deep into the ethical dilemmas specifically within the realm of engineering design and artificial intelligence (AI), elucidating the responsibilities of engineers in mitigating biases, ensuring transparency, and upholding moral integrity. Through case studies and discussions, students will analyze real-world engineering design systems, develop ethical frameworks, and cultivate the ethical reasoning necessary for navigating the complexities of AI systems with integrity and social responsibility.

The sessions will take place virtually via Zoom. Any books or literature references for the students will be provided for free. This course is offered for free to all community college students and at the conclusion of the course, students will receive a certificate of completion.
