AI and data are powerful tools that require thoughtful and responsible applications. The stakes are high as algorithms can scale to influence millions and even billions of people within a moment of launch and morph businesses and society with the impact that might last generations. Our mission is to understand and anticipate potential pitfalls and misuse of personal data and AI to guard against harm. We will also discuss existing solutions and the lack of solutions. The course is designed to be accessible to everyone and targeted to practitioners whose businesses will use some form of data and algorithms. Examples from Technology, Retail, Marketing, Health Care, Finance, and Society will be discussed.
