Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment for GenAI Projects
In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, we're facing a situation where technology can solve some of the greatest challenges of our century and at the same time have a detrimental impact on human rights and freedoms. Through the lens of the Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment, in this course, we'll navigate the balance between innovation and our intrinsic rights to privacy, freedom and equality. The course will be delivered by Sabrina Palme, an AI Trustworthiness and Data Governance specialist, named "100 brilliant women in AI ethics."

Lesson 1: The Critical Role of FRIAs for Trustworthy AI
This lesson commences with an introduction to FRIAs, defining the role they play in attaining trustworthy AI. From this foundation, you will explore the relevance of FRIAs for different types of organizations and applications, and in the context of the regulatory landscape.

Lesson 2: Analyzing FRIA Necessity for GenAI Systems
The lesson equips you with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively analyze situations that call for the performance of FRIAs when working with diverse GenAI systems. Through an introduction to GenAI systems that define, distinguish, and characterize different types of GenAI, you will explore and analyze specific criteria that necessitate FRIAs.

Lesson 3: Performing a FRIA
In this lesson, you will engage in the practical application of FRIAs against the backdrop of a real-world scenario. You will explore the step-by-step procedure of completing a FRIA on the given template and recognize important considerations throughout the process. This will prepare you to immerse yourself in the hands-on activity that puts your knowledge to the test by performing your own FRIA.

This course, Public Health in Humanitarian Crises 1, introduces discussions about the public health approach to problems experienced by people affected by disasters, both natural and related to conflict. The course discusses the many changes which occur in people’s lives when they are uprooted by a disaster, ranging from changes in disease patterns, access to health care, livelihoods, shelter, sanitary conditions, nutritional status, etceteras. We will explore what humanitarian interventions could look like if we want to mitigate the effects of disasters. The course content is a mix of theoretical knowledge and many practical examples from recent disasters. We think this course is unique because it contains so many practical ‘real-life’ examples and is taught by instructors and guest lecturers who together have over 200 years of experience in this field.

Will AI soon be surpassing humans? This is rapidly becoming one of the central questions of our time -- but it is the wrong question. In this course, we will provide a non-technical look at where AI has come from, and where it is going. We will see that there is no reason to expect that AI will be surpassing humans. Instead, what we are learning to create with AI is the illusion of intelligence.
