ADM+S Research Fellow Dr Dang Nguyen has collaborated with the Asian Development Bank Institute to develop an E-learning short course which explores the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for social impact.
The free online course aims to help policy makers, researchers and students gain foundational knowledge in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential for driving positive societal change.
“It was a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with the ADBI in developing this resource.
“The course is intended to help policymakers, researchers, and non-specialists in emerging economies, particularly in the Asia-Pacific, to navigate the intersection of AI and social change with confidence,” explains Dr Nguyen.
The course consists of three units that examine the historical and social context of the emergence of AI, as well as the capabilities of the technologies and systems.
“Whether you’re seeking to shape policies, develop innovative solutions, or simply deepen your understanding of this rapidly evolving field, this course serves as a vital starting point for thinking about how AI can contribute to a more ethical, responsible, and inclusive future for all.”
