Radical Ideas AI Ethics

AI affects your life in ways you can't see—but you can understand them. This course moves AI ethics from abstract principle into concrete reality: how algorithms shape your information diet, how companies harvest data to build influence, how decisions that affect you (loans, jobs, parole) are increasingly made by systems you don't understand.

You'll learn digital privacy rights and how to protect them, study how tech companies leverage behavioral data, explore data's economic and social impact, and practice critical thinking about technology promises. Then you'll discover concrete solutions: how better AI governance protects freedom, what interpretability and transparency really mean, where privacy and safety matter most. Designed for everyone who uses technology and wants to understand who holds the power.

For: Tech workers, policymakers, anyone affected by algorithms and AI decisions.
