AI Impacts 101

​In this training session for freelancers, industry and civil society, we will move beyond the hype to share the environmental and social impacts of AI. Understanding the impacts of AI will help you to make informed decisions and intentional trade-offs in your work.

​While there are some clear societal red lines, as set out in the Human Rights Act, the abundance of different sets of principles for responsible AI show that, in operational terms at least, ethics are relational and should be based upon both the values and operating context of your work.

​Learning Outcomes:

• ​An understanding of AI systems

• ​An understanding of the environmental impacts of AI

• ​An understanding of (some of) AI’s social impacts

• ​An introduction to the AI policy landscape

​Takeaways:

• ​An AI and related terms glossary

• ​Recommended reading list
