While big data management and analytical data simulations have served businesses well, data ethics and privacy of such work remain a question. In a world of AI and digital technologies seeping in our business processes, the need for organisations to look at data through an ethical lens and the responsibility in managing large streams of data is no less than vital.

This module, Data Ethics and AI Governance Framework, introduces principles from Singapore's AI Model Governance Framework and other global AI ethics framework (e.g., OECD AI principles, EU etc), providing insight to data ethics in a changing world. Participants will also learn to formulate their organisation’s code of ethics, establish systems and processes, as well as set legal and ethical requirements for data usage.

Hands-on course for participants (even if there are non-technical) to understand how algorithms and AI learning methodologies work so as to appreciate AI ethical dilemmas

  • Understanding Artificial Intelligence
