Course Description
As media reports on corporate scandals make clear, ethics need to be at the heart and soul of every business decision. Boards are responsible for setting the tone at the top and satisfying themselves as to the integrity of the CEO and management.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are digital technologies that will have a significant impact on the development of humanity in the near future. They have raised fundamental questions about what we should do with these systems, what the systems themselves should do, what risks they involve, and how we can control these.
This workshop will provide participants with an overview of the business, reputational and legal risks of ethics and artificial intelligence and how best to mitigate those risks and secure support from private and public institutions.
