Course description and aims
The rapid evolution of AI improves the convenience of our lives, but it also has social impacts. In this lecture, we teach the ethics of AI in the information society, the information law, and the technologies to realize responsible AI to cultivate a broad perspective beyond the boundaries of the humanities and sciences. This lecture deals with social issues of AI, which were not covered in the course of fundamentals of progressive artificial intelligence.
Student learning outcomes
The goals are to think independently about ethical, legal, and social issues in today's information society and understand the techniques of explainable AI and fairness.
