10-735 Responsible AI
12 units, Carnegie Mellon University
The development and deployment of artificial intelligence AI systems increasingly involves choices that impact peoples lives and society at large. The responsible development and use of AI requires the integration of ethical, societal, and policy considerations into the use of AI tools and the development of AI systems in highstakes domains, such as employment, education, lending, criminal justice, medicine, and beyond. We will discuss 1 the pathways through which AI can lead to or amplify problematic decisionmaking practices e.g., discrimination, inscrutability, invasion of privacy, and beyond 2 recent technological methods and remedies to capture and alleviate these concerns and 3 the scope of applicability and limitations of technological remedies in the context of several contemporary application domains. The courses primary goals are a to raise awareness about the social, ethical, and policy implications of AI, and b to prepare students to critically analyze these issues as they emerge in the everexpanding use of AI in socially consequential domains.
