D2L Partners with INQ Consulting to
create an Introduction to AI Ethics and Governance course
TORONTO, Dec. 4, 2023
/PRNewswire/ - D2L, a global learning technology company, today
shared the launch of a new, free Introduction to AI Ethics and
Governance course, built in partnership with AI specialists, INQ
Consulting. To help build a greater understanding of AI technology,
this free-to-learner course is aimed at bringing organizations one
step closer to responsible AI governance.
Over the past year, generative AI technologies and large
language models have helped influence rapid, potentially
transformational, advancements in AI technology. In response to
ongoing developments in generative AI, the Government of
Canada recently proposed
amendments to the Canada's
Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) and the Biden
Administration issued an Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and
Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.
With the surge of AI across industries and its potential to
streamline business activities, organizations are looking to
incorporate AI technologies into their operations. Through this
course, individuals can learn about AI ethics, governance and the
emergence of AI regulation. Moreover, learners can also expect to
receive some practical advice for safely deploying AI governance
systems to best maximize AI's benefits and mitigate its possible
risks.
"AI's potential is undeniable, and the more organizations
understand it, the better they will be able to align their business
goals to it," said Dr. Rajesh
Talpade, Senior Vice President of Product at D2L. "We are
excited to empower organizations to welcome AI ethically into their
processes by helping build their confidence on the technology."
Combining INQ Consulting's expertise surrounding AI law and
D2L's cutting-edge course-building technology, the crafting of this
learning experience marks the first time that the two companies
have worked together. The course can now be found on D2L Open
Courses, an online course platform that offers courses to the
general public.
"More organizations are relying on key AI governance mechanisms
to address both the challenges and opportunities that AI offers,"
said Carole Piovesan, Co-Founder and
Managing Partner at INQ Law. "Now, more than ever, it's imperative
that businesses understand this technology and we are happy to have
partnered with D2L to address that need."
