Ethical AI case studies

AI is no longer a future thing — it is already grading homework, picking job candidates, recommending what you watch, translating languages, and even helping doctors read scans. Every one of those uses brings real benefits AND real risks. Ethical AI is the habit of pausing before, during, and after a system is built to ask: who gains, who loses, and is the trade fair? In this lesson you will look at short real-world case studies and learn to judge an AI system the way an engineer, a teacher, or a citizen would judge it.

What this lesson teaches

1Identify the ethical issue at the center of a real AI case study
2Weigh benefits against harms for a specific AI system
3Judge an AI system on fairness, transparency, and accountability
4Recommend one concrete change that would make the system more ethical
