Description

Ben Weissman’s Responsible Use of AI course addresses the ethical and societal challenges that can arise when applying artificial intelligence (AI) in family businesses. In four lessons, Weissman teaches participants the importance of recognizing and addressing biases that can be built into AI models. The course emphasizes that human biases – whether related to gender, age, attractiveness or affinities – inevitably influence the algorithms used in AI systems. Participants will learn how to recognize and minimize these biases and take responsibility for developing fair, transparent and equitable AI solutions.

In addition, the course covers important ethical principles such as fairness, accountability and data protection. Weissman emphasizes the need for a responsible AI framework and clearly defined AI governance to ensure stakeholder trust. A key point is also the promotion of diversity within the teams working on AI projects, as different perspectives can lead to better and more inclusive solutions. In conclusion, the course shows that responsible AI requires continuous review and adaptation and encourages organizations to be transparent about mistakes and promote a culture of diversity.
