An Introduction to Responsible AI for SMEs

סקירה כללית

The course is intended to equip Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and micros with a basic understanding of responsible AI innovation. Having completed the course, learners will understand the potential benefits, risks and limits of different AI tools, methods and approaches, be able to demonstrate an awareness of the relevant policy and regulations relevant to AI adoption, and use and know the right questions to ask when seeking to use a proprietary or open-source AI system for the first time.

The course will include exposure to general principles and best practices for responsible AI use, and widely available tools and resources to support organisations in Responsible AI practice. Moreover, the course will include voices from the sector to illustrate practical examples of where AI has been used responsibly, why responsible engagement with AI is necessary, and how to avoid pitfalls and harms that commonly occur when using an AI system.
