Ethical Governance & Risk in Agentic AI is an intermediate-level course designed for professionals who need to navigate the complex landscape of autonomous AI systems while ensuring ethical compliance and responsible deployment. As AI systems become increasingly autonomous, traditional governance approaches break down, creating new categories of risk and accountability challenges. This course equips learners with practical frameworks to assess AI autonomy levels, design adaptive compliance strategies, and build scalable governance structures. Through real-world case studies from IBM, UC Berkeley, and Harvard Business Review, learners explore both the opportunities and risks of agentic AI systems. The course emphasizes practical implementation, providing tools and templates that can be immediately applied in organizational settings. By the end, learners will be able to build comprehensive governance frameworks that balance innovation with responsibility, ensuring AI systems serve human values while driving competitive advantage.
In this foundational lesson, learners will explore the evolution of AI autonomy and examine how autonomous agents make decisions. They'll analyze the ethical implications of AI decision-making, understand the spectrum of agent autonomy, and evaluate real-world cases where AI autonomy has created both opportunities and challenges. Through IBM's perspective on agentic AI risks and UC Berkeley's analysis, learners will develop a framework for assessing agent autonomy levels.
