Overview
Organizations and governments are seeking out ethics professionals to minimize risk and guide their decision-making about the design of inclusive, responsible, and trusted technology. An algorithm not designed and assessed in alignment with ethical standards can create further inequity across race, gender and marginalized populations.
The reputational and financial impact of an ethics violation can devastate a company. Knowledgeable ethics leaders are needed who can navigate through the more than 160 frameworks and guidelines to select and implement the best strategy to promote fairness and minimize risk for their organization.
This Certified Ethical Emerging Technologist course offered by Coursera in partnership with CertNexus is designed for learners who want to create and lead initiatives that prioritize ethical integrity within emerging data-driven technology fields such as artificial intelligence and data science and will be prepared to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Applied Learning Project
Learners will create a portfolio of assets highlighting their skills as ethical leaders. The assets consist of written documents and video communications required of ethical leaders, including Op-Ed articles, risk management reports, strategy memos, media releases, and video press briefings.
Learners who complete the Honors projects will also author an industry feature article; a recommendation memo for the most appropriate ethical framework to guide an organization or a project; an Algorithmic Impact Assessment; a change management presentation to a Board of Directors; and a strategic business document such as a cost-benefit analysis, design plan, or business continuity plan.
This portfolio of assets can be shared on a learner’s social profile, shared in job interviews, or used immediately within their organization to promote ethical principles.
