Ethical AI in Action: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence Responsibly
Course Description:
In this session, we will dive into how artificial intelligence (AI) presents both powerful opportunities and significant ethical challenges when deployed in the real world. Drawing from the insights in the Fíonta article, we’ll explore how AI isn’t just a futuristic “take-over” scenario, but rather a tool whose impact is shaped by the humans who build, deploy, and govern it. We’ll examine three core ethical fault-lines — bias encoded in data, decisions made by “black-box” models without explainability, and the dark side of large-scale data analytics infringing on personal privacy. Then, we’ll shift into the positive side: how organizations can harness AI for good by embedding human judgement, designing for transparency, testing carefully, and aligning AI systems with values and mission. Participants will leave with concrete take-aways to assess their own AI initiatives and steer them towards responsible, human-centred use.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize the key ethical risks posed by AI systems — including bias, lack of transparency/explainability, and invasions of privacy.
Assess whether an AI deployment is aligned with human-centred values and organizational goals, and identify early warning signs when it is not.
Apply a practical framework for testing, evaluating, and monitoring AI systems for fairness, accountability and transparency.
Develop strategies for integrating human oversight and judgement into AI workflows — making sure that “smart computers” and “smart people” act in tandem.
Explore opportunities where AI can be used ethically and responsibly to advance mission-driven outcomes, rather than inadvertently causing harm.
