This event includes 2 hours of Ethics CPD
This course is developed in partnership with the Centre for Advancing Responsible Ethical Artificial Intelligence (CARE-AI) at the University of Guelph.
Big data and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing our world and raising unprecedented ethical issues.
CPAs must be prepared to grapple with ethical questions related to data and algorithms as AI and machine learning (ML) applications increasingly permeate business. In this CPA Ontario course, you will be introduced to ethical concepts such as bias, fairness, and privacy in the context of AI and ML. You will sharpen your ability to think critically and carefully about the challenges posed by big data and AI in today's workplace and in society at large.
You will also hear industry perspectives from Natalia Modjeska, Research Director at Info-Tech Research Group. Based on her extensive experience advising businesses on ethical and responsible AI, Natalia shares common misconceptions and questions that businesses must ask of any AI/ML application.
The course includes case studies, reflection questions, and a final quiz.
