This programme responds to the urgent demand for interdisciplinary expertise in the ethical design, use and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) and other data-intensive technologies.Many organisations lack the specialist technical and policy expertise needed to manage the ethical challenges of AI, which increasingly go far beyond legal compliance or risk management.As public expectations and regulatory demands increase, all sectors need skilled graduates equipped with critical, creative and advanced data skills. As a graduate, you will be prepared to help organisations and institutions navigate complex new technical systems and roles with greater transparency, accountability, fairness, justice, and respect for human rights, and in ways aligned with genuine human and social needs.
