Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.0.3 Ethics of AI

Course subject(s) Module 2. Open up your mind

As machines and algorithms are interacting with humans more often, it is becoming increasingly important to develop ethical frameworks to steer AI and robotics research and development. However, this sounds more simple than it is.

  • Are human ethical standards appropriate for robots and AI?
  • Everybody is different; how can we unify this in one human ethical code?
  • How can we develop and use AI in ways that are fair, accountable and transparent?

In the video below, Virginia Dignum will introduce the topic of ethics in AI research and development.

After watching this video, ask one question that watching this video raised for you, and respond to at least one question that a fellow learner posted in the discussion forum.
