Overview

AI is transforming the world around us. From how doctors make decisions, to how housing is allocated or how police and governments act; the impact of artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction. It’s becoming integral in our everyday lives. Join AI Ethics and Society offered by University of Leeds.

Key facts:

This Masters degree will provide you with trailblazing tools in ethical AI to become a holistic and strategic expert on AI’s role in society. The course is ideal for those with a non-technical background, whilst also offering a rare combination of complementary skills for those with technical experience.

Developed and taught by Leeds Institute for Societal Futures, you'll focus on real-world scenarios, working collaboratively across disciplines and sectors to find ethical and responsible solutions to the challenges of AI.

You’ll engage with the big questions around the hopes and harms of AI in society, such as:

Who controls the future of AI?

How can AI be deployed to narrow gaps between the rich and poor?

What is the role of AI in the ‘fake news’ culture of misinformation and disinformation?

How important is it to build public trust in AI?

How are industry and policy reacting to the implementation of AI?

How will we shape the rules and governance of AI?
