Location: US

Company: HP

About this course:
'AI in Society: Ethics, Leadership, and the Road Ahead' is Course 3 of the HP-edX programme "AI Foundations, Practice, and Leadership."
Across 6 modules, instructor Sathish Jeyakumar moves from the technical foundations of Courses 1 and 2 to the real-world implications of AI — the questions every leader, professional, and citizen now needs to answer.
You'll examine how bias enters AI systems and how to build fairer ones, the new security threats unique to AI (prompt injection, deepfakes, adversarial attacks), how AI is reshaping work through augmentation rather than wholesale replacement, breakthrough applications in healthcare and science (AlphaFold, AI drug discovery), where AI delivers competitive advantage in business and finance, and the global regulatory landscape including the EU AI Act and the ongoing debate around AGI.
Every concept is grounded in real-world case studies — Amazon's biased hiring tool, the Gender Shades study, the Biden deepfake robocall, GitHub Copilot, JPMorgan's COIN, and more. No coding required — just the curiosity to think critically about AI's role in our world.
