The greatest danger in emerging technology is the perpetuation bias in automated technologies that are dependent on data sets. Unintentional or intentional, solutions that are racial, ethnic, or demographically biased can lead to social and economic inequalities.

Also, you will examine legal privacy and legal concepts in relation to technology such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science. The course teaches you how to identify which types of bias can cause the most risk and what principles you can use to respond strategically to ethical considerations.
