The deployment of Artificial Intelligence systems in multiple domains of society raises fundamental challenges and concerns, such as accountability, liability, fairness, transparency and privacy. The dynamic nature of AI systems requires a new set of skills informed by ethics, law, and policy to be applied throughout the life cycle of such systems: design, development and deployment. It also involves ongoing collaboration among data scientists, computer scientists, lawyers and ethicists. Tackling these challenges calls for an interdisciplinary approach: *deconstructing* these issues by discipline and *reconstructing* with an integrated mindset, principles and practices between data science, ethics and law. This course aims to do so by bringing together students with diverse disciplinary backgrounds into teams that work together on joint tasks in an intensive series of in-class sessions. These sessions will include lectures, discussions, and group work.

## Learning Objectives
80+
81+
### 1. Cross-disciplinary Dialogue
82+
83+
By the end of the course, the students will be able to communicate with professionals from other disciplines, identify gaps in the meaning of terms and perspectives, and develop a shared language.
84+
85+
### 2. Responsible AI Literacy
86+
87+
By the end of the course, the students will …
88+
89+
1. be aware of the impact of AI on individuals, groups, society and humanity, and proactively spot ethical issues and scan for unintended consequences and potential harms.
90+
2. possess introductory knowledge and skills to oversight and audit AI systems through their life cycle (design, development and deployment).
91+
3. be able to find and use resources to achieve all of the above.
92+
93+
### 3. Professional Responsibility
94+
95+
By the end of the course, the students will take the first steps in shaping their responsibility as professionals, and be motivated to act upon it.
96+
97+
## Format
98+
99+
The teaching is based on the [*signature pedagogy*](https://wiki.ubc.ca/Signature_Pedagogies) of each discipline; [*case-studies*](https://casestudies.law.harvard.edu/the-case-study-teaching-method/) for Law and *iterated and interactive research of data* (e.g., with Jupyter Notebook) for Data Science. These two pedagogies are being used in every class, accessible to all of the students, and integrated together.
100+
101+
## Teams
102+
103+
Every class is built around one central task that requires the integration of law and data science perspectives with ethical considerations. The tasks are performed in teams which will be formed before the start of the course. Teams are assigned by the course staff and are fixed for the duration of the course. Teams are designed to consist of mixed backgrounds and disciplines.
104+
105+
## Participation
106+
107+
Multidisciplinary teamwork is an indispensable component in this course, so the active participation of all students is necessary for successful learning. Therefore, a student might miss at most one class, but only for a justified reason after confirming with the instructor of their respective institution at least 3 days in advance.
108+
109+
## Pre-Class Assignments
110+
111+
There are few assignments to be done and submitted before some of the classes. The students will use the outcomes of these assignments in the class. The submissions are mandatory but not graded.
112+
113+
## In-Class Assignments
114+
115+
In every class, all teams are required to submit a half-pager memo and a deck of a few slides at the end of each class. Each team will present twice during the course.
116+
117+
## Final Project
118+
119+
The teams will conduct an algorithmic audit of an AI system within a concrete context. The audit requires the integration of technological, legal and ethical perspectives on novel case-sutdies, values and sectors that are not covered in the course.
120+
121+
## Evaluation
122+
123+
The assignments and the final project will be evaluated in terms of how well they reflect learning from readings and in-class discussion, with particular attention the integration of technical, legal, and ethical perspectives.
124+
125+
## Grading Breakdown
126+
127+
- Team final project: 40%
128+
- Team in-class assignments: 35%
129+
- Team presentations during class: 16%
130+
- Individual pre-class assignments: 4%
131+
- Individual participation: 5%
