Why this programme
Advances in digitalisation come with many benefits, such as a more connected and integrated digital society.

You will explore questions such as: Should AI be used to replace people in positions that require respect and care such as a judge or a soldier? How can we avoid bias from creeping into algorithms? How should self-driving cars be regulated? How do we stay in control of a complex intelligent system?
