Ethical Frameworks for AI

Course Description

A fast, practical primer on the core ethical frameworks that guide responsible AI in the workplace. You’ll learn how utilitarian, rights-based, and justice-oriented approaches shape real decisions, and how to apply them to everyday AI features, policies, and reviews—especially where autonomy and human oversight intersect.
