Artificial intelligence (AI) has shifted from science fiction to everyday reality. But what exactly is it, and how is it reshaping the socioeconomic landscape? What is at stake for governments, businesses, and citizens?

AI has advanced significantly in recent years and is now an integral part of everyday life. Interactive voice assistants on mobile phones, targeted online advertising, autonomous vehicles, and autonomous weapons illustrate the diverse applications of AI in contemporary society. The AI Technology, Policy and Governance course provides in-depth knowledge to help participants to critically assess the consequences of AI, as well as understand the opportunities and challenges it presents across a wide range of fields, including policy and diplomacy. It offers interdisciplinary coverage of the subject, encompassing technical, political, legal, economic, security, and ethical dimensions related to AI.
