Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we live, work, and interact with technology, driving innovation across industries and society. While AI offers significant benefits, its growing influence also introduces critical risks and responsibilities. As AI systems become more powerful and widespread, organisations must understand, assess, and manage their impact on individuals, communities, and society.

This is where AI impact assessments play a vital role. An AI impact assessment is a structured evaluation of how an AI system may affect key areas such as privacy, security, fairness, transparency, and ethics. It helps organizations identify potential risks, benefits, and unintended consequences before and during the deployment of AI technologies, supporting responsible and trustworthy AI adoption. This course equips you with the knowledge and practical tools to conduct effective AI system impact assessments, either as a standalone activity or as part of an ISO/IEC 42001:2023 AI management system. You will gain a clear understanding of AI governance principles and how to apply them to ensure compliant, ethical, and responsible use of AI within your organization.
