Course Summary
The digital transformation of organizations and society is in full swing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasing role in this.
AI systems can used to automatically determine bank loan eligibility, for recognition of dangerous situations through image processing, for assessing medical needs. However, the use of AI also carries challenges, from biased implementations based on faulty data to losing understanding and control over complex systems. How do we ensure that Artificial Intelligence is used for the common good? In the M.Sc. Human Centered AI you learn how to build and apply AI, and how to deal with the societal choices that come with it.
