What you should be able to do

  • I.A.1 Define artificial intelligence and distinguish the major types of AI systems.
  • I.A.2 Identify the risks and harms AI poses to individuals, groups, organizations and society — including misalignment with objectives, ethics and bias risk, and problems of complexity and scalability.
  • I.A.3 Explain the characteristics of AI that demand a comprehensive governance approach: complexity, opacity, autonomy, speed and scale, potential for harm or misuse, data dependency, and probabilistic versus deterministic outputs.
  • I.A.4 Describe and apply responsible-AI principles: fairness; safety and reliability; privacy and security; transparency and explainability; accountability; and human-centricity.
