AI is transforming how we work — but are we using it responsibly? From biased hiring algorithms to privacy violations and opaque decision-making, the risks of unchecked AI use are real and growing. This course gives you a practical, jargon-free foundation in ethical AI — so you can use AI tools confidently, fairly, and in line with your organisation's expectations.

Whether you work in HR, legal, compliance, operations, finance, marketing, or any other function, this course explains AI ethics in plain language and connects every concept to situations you're likely to encounter on the job.

  • The core pillars of responsible AI — fairness, transparency, accountability, privacy, and safety

  • How to identify and respond to AI bias in tools used for hiring, healthcare, financial services, and more

  • Global AI frameworks including the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF — and what they mean for your role
