5 dimensions: fairness · transparency · accountability · human oversight · privacy. Senior pattern: operationalize via artefacts (bias dashboard, transparency notices, named Art. 17, HITL queue, retention auto-expiry) — NOT 12-page policies. Front-page test: defensible? If no, redesign. Sector overlays: banking · pharma · public — one framework + overlays, not separate per project.

What you will learn

  • Run the 5-dimension ethics audit (fairness, transparency, accountability, human oversight, privacy) on a live AI feature and identify its weakest dimension
  • Operationalize ethics through artefacts — weekly bias dashboard, transparency notices, a named Art. 17 responsible per system, an HITL queue, retention auto-expiry — instead of a standalone policy document
  • Apply the 'front-page test' at every milestone and design the affected-persons explanation, contest, and non-AI-alternative paths required for Art. 27 FRIA
  • Adapt the single ethics framework with the right sector overlay (banking DG-AS/ECB, pharma clinical-trial protection, public-sector CNIL/DPA) instead of forking a new framework per project

Module overview

Ethics in enterprise AI is not philosophy class — it's the operational discipline that turns "we built an AI feature" into "we built an AI feature the company would defend in front of a regulator, journalist, or affected employee". EU AI Act Art. 13 + Art. 14 + Art. 27 (fundamental rights impact assessment) make this a hard requirement, not a soft option.

The 5 enterprise-AI ethics dimensions.

  1. Fairness — equal treatment across protected attributes. Quantified via stratified bias eval (M057). Mandate: EU AI Act Art. 15.
  2. Transparency — users + affected persons understand the AI's role. EU AI Act Art. 13 (transparency to deployer) + Art. 50 (user-facing transparency for deployed systems).
  3. Accountability — named human responsible for the system's outcomes. EU AI Act Art. 17 (provider QMS) + Art. 26 (deployer obligations).
  4. Human oversight — human reviews/overrides on consequential decisions. EU AI Act Art. 14.
  5. Privacy — DAC + retention + minimization. GDPR + EU AI Act.
