Be it production, customer service or business innovation, the
possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) are manifold. AI helps to
automate repetitive decisions and processes or to detect complex
relationships. However, the use of AI can also have unexpected negative
consequences that can cause significant damage not only to the
reputation and profitability of organizations, but also to workers,
individuals, and society as a whole. Prominent examples include the
undesirable use of facial recognition, candidate discrimination in
personnel selection, or the lack of traceability and control in AI-based
business decisions. Organizations therefore need to learn how to
responsibly manage human-machine interactions and consider ethical
aspects when using AI. However, the study and application of responsible
AI is a very young field and requires the pooling of activities from a
variety of disciplines to design and apply AI systems in a robust, fair,
transparent, and legally acceptable manner. This lecture therefore
provides students with a profound overview of the field of responsible
AI in the Digital Age and introduces fundamental concepts and approaches
from a holistic perspective.
