About the seminar
This workshop is intended to provide participants with the conceptual tools necessary to identify and evaluate ethical challenges that come with the use of AI applications in training and work settings. It provides an overview of:

- the ethical challenges accompanying them
- the ethical frameworks helpful for considering AI-related challenges
