Overview
What you will study
The first part of the AI and Biases - the Road to Algorithmic Fairness course offered by European University Institute (EUI) will set the scene and provide an introductory overview of the European perspective on the impacts of AI in social systems. Participants will learn the basic foundations of AI, identify existing and potential biases in their use, and delve into the risks of implementing biased algorithms.
The second part (days two and three) is more specific and practice-oriented for particular contexts (public sector/industry/civil society). During these two days, participants will explore different mitigation strategies for preserving fairness and diversity in increasingly technology-mediated environments, exchange experiences, and jointly chart the way towards a fairer and more inclusive AI.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Understand the basics of AI, including how algorithms work, the types of biases that can exist in AI systems, and their implications in various contexts;
- Develop, explain, and communicate strategies and tools for promoting algorithmic fairness;
- Implement the knowledge and skills to identify and mitigate biases in their own organisations;
- Identify best practices for implementing AI systems in a fair and inclusive manner, and develop strategies to preserve fairness and diversity in increasingly technology-mediated environments.
