This module aims to develop students’ ability to identify and evaluate the ethical, legal, and societal implications of artificial intelligence. Through a combination of ethical reasoning, case-based analysis, and applied discussion, students will explore concepts such as fairness, bias, transparency, and accountability. The module also aims to help students think intelligently and confidently about the ethical dimensions of AI and to view subsequent technical modules through a normative lens, fostering a reflective and responsible approach to AI practice. Learning activities are designed to encourage critical reflection, ethical reasoning, and interdisciplinary awareness, enabling students to critically evaluate real-world AI applications.
