The Ethical Crossroads of Emerging Technologies
The advantages and consequences of AI driven decisions
Description
In this immersive learning experience, developed by IE University, learners are presented with ethical dilemmas that pose unique challenges regarding the implementation of AI and other emerging technologies. In each dilemma, participants take on the role of a decision-maker tasked with making weighty choices with lasting consequences.
The dilemmas are independent of each other, so the role in one situation is not related to the other dilemma. As the primary decision-maker in each dilemma, learners are fully immersed in the experience as key stakeholders in the room, challenged to discuss the issues at hand.
