Artificial intelligence is increasingly transforming society, the economy and public institutions. With the free Professional Certificate “Responsible AI in a Global Context”, the United Nations University (UNU), in collaboration with Microsoft and LinkedIn Learning, provides an introduction to the global impacts, risks and responsible use of artificial intelligence.
The certificate programme consists of three courses with a total of approximately four hours of learning content. It focuses on the global impacts of AI, issues of governance, equity and responsibility, as well as ethical and societal risks. It also addresses approaches to responsible AI use and human oversight, complemented by international case studies from public institutions, including examples from public policy, digital government and global health.
The three courses are:
- Understanding AI’s Global Impact: Governance, Equity, and Responsibility
An introduction to artificial intelligence, governance and global equity - Responsible AI: Global Risks, Governance, and Human Oversight
AI risks, governance models, bias, explainability, data protection and human oversight - AI in Action: Global Case Studies from Public Institutions
Practical examples of AI applications in public institutions and various areas of society
The programme is particularly aimed at professionals and leaders, employees of public institutions, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of responsible and human-centred AI. Upon completion of all three courses, participants can earn a Professional Certificate and a completion badge.
The Professional Certificate is available free of charge on LinkedIn Learning.
