Course Objectives: | In this course, students will gain an in-depth understanding of the emerging themes of explainability, responsibility and trustworthiness in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and learn how to design systems in accordance with these principles. The course will focus on techniques to make AI models understandable to humans, emphasize the practice of responsible algorithm development in the light of ethical standards and regulatory legislation, and learn how to integrate trustworthiness considerations. Students will be able to evaluate the societal impact and responsibilities of the applications they develop. |
Course Content: | 1. Introduction and importance of the concepts of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). 2. Principles of responsible AI and ethical frameworks. 3. Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence system design and security standards. 4. Practical review of XAI methods and techniques. 5. Social and legal aspects of responsible and trustworthy AI systems. |
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) 1. To be able to explain the basic principles and techniques of XAI. 2) 2. Identify ethical guidelines for responsible AI design. 3) 3. Understand the criteria for designing reliable Artificial Intelligence systems. 4) 4. Apply explainability methods for various AI models. 5) 5. Evaluate the social, legal and ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence systems. |
