What this is
The course works through transparency, accountability, bias in data and human rights under automated decision-making. The examples are concrete rather than abstract.
Finishing requires submitting the feedback form; that last step is where people usually stall and end up without the certificate.
Who it is for
Anyone deploying AI in a product or in the public sector who has to answer regulatory questions.
