Understanding the Role of Ethics in the Responsible Use of AI - BCS Foundation Award
The BCS Foundation Award in Understanding the Role of Ethics in the Responsible Use of AI is designed for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of how an ethical culture can support and ensure responsible use of AI.
AI is increasing in its use. Now a presence within our workplaces and our homes, there is a greater need now more than ever to understand the moral implications associated with AI and how it is impacting on society. This award considers the responsibility of organisations and society towards ensuring AI is implemented for the good of others. It considers the potential harm AI may pose, and the safeguards that can be implemented to ensure it is used safely, ethically and for the good of society. Candidates will be encouraged to explore the benefits associated with AI and the potential value it can add towards the continued evolution of humankind if managed well.
The BCS Foundation Award in Understanding the Role of Ethics in the Responsible Use of AI has been created for IT professionals of all levels, particularly those considering AI as a solution. It aims to provide them with a basic understanding of the ethical challenges posed upon society, whilst also recognising the business benefits.
This award sits within the Ethics area of the AI Foundation Pathway and demonstrates how the societal impact of AI will be controlled by human interaction.
