Artificial intelligence (AI) already has and increasingly will have a deep impact on humans, going so far as to change our daily lives. Faced with this scenario, the ethical and legal dimensions of AI also need to be investigated. And it is necessary for future professionals to be aware of the ethical and legal frameworks applicable to AI.
The course provides students with the ethical and legal basis to understand AI, in its positive potentialities but also in its risks towards fundamental rights.
