This course will explore the considerations and concerns surrounding the use of Generative AI tools in organisations.
Particular areas of concern arise with issues such as data protection, professional accountability, and the integrity of client-facing services.
It considers some of the interplay between humans and non-humans and discuss some of the main risks associated with the uses of GenAI, including some considerations for managing and mitigating some of the risks posed by the growing use of GenAI tools.
