COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course Level Bachelor's Degree
Course Type Elective
Course Objective This course aims to provide prospective teachers with the conceptual and analytical foundation necessary for developing a responsible, critical, and rights-based engagement with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, both as citizens and as future members of the teaching profession. Adopting a "responsible AI" perspective as its organizing framework, the course examines the fundamental concepts of AI, the data ecosystem, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and analyzes core principles such as privacy, transparency, explainability, fairness, bias, and discrimination. The course addresses the European Union's regulatory framework for AI — most notably the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) — its risk-based approach, and the implications of these regulations for various sectors, including education. Students will further explore the opportunities and risks that AI poses for democracy, human rights, the rule of law, the digital public sphere, and surveillance practices. Through this course, students will develop the ability to evaluate AI systems in light of digital rights and responsible AI principles, analyze their societal implications, and advocate for responsible AI practices in their future professional lives.
