Strategies for Accountable AI – Wharton Executive Education – University of Pennsylvania
Bold new insights, greater efficiency, a stronger bottom line: the already-strong promise of AI has exploded since ChatGPT burst on the scene. But with industry-shifting technology comes serious risks: concerns range from hallucinations and bias to privacy and intellectual property issues, potentially leading to major embarrassments, regulatory penalties, and legal liability. Executives, entrepreneurs, and managers who aim to integrate AI successfully into their operations need a thorough grasp of these pitfalls and how to avoid them. This responsibility extends far beyond the general counsel’s office to every executive level.
Led by the faculty experts of AI at Wharton, Strategies for Accountable AI brings you an up-to-the-minute, comprehensive roadmap for effective AI oversight, enabling you to implement or modify systems and processes so they are responsible, safe, trustworthy, ethical, and legally compliant. Receive practical frameworks to address issues such as accuracy, risk, and transparency; fairness, bias, and discrimination; and privacy, data integrity, and cybersecurity. With this program, you can win a competitive advantage, protecting your firm and its reputation while fully deploying AI’s capabilities to boost your business success.

In Strategies for Accountable AI, you will:
This program’s unique “flipped learning” format is designed to produce maximum, immediate impact for the busy executive. Over nine weeks, participants will engage in weekly 90-minute live online sessions, interspersed with self-paced online video segments and activities to work through foundational material at their convenience. Content is delivered by award-winning faculty who are pioneering the academic research and leading the dialogue on the accountable use of AI today.
The program prioritizes engagement and employs a host of instructional modalities to enhance the learning experience: in-class discussions, team collaboration, case studies, and video interviews with leading industry experts.
Companies that pay attention to mitigating AI risks enjoy higher returns from their AI investments, according to a recent McKinsey survey. Yet many firms don’t devote sufficient resources to this critical aspect of AI implementation. A recent BCG survey found that although 84 percent of executives believe responsible AI should be on top management agendas, only 25 percent have comprehensive programs in place. With Strategies for Accountable AI, you can help your firm get ahead of the curve, ensuring it is prepared for fast-changing government regulations and technological advances.
In this engaging learning experience, Wharton faculty guide you through what you need to know about building, monitoring, and maintaining responsible AI solutions. Explore AI governance worldwide including legal requirements, emerging legislation, organizational practices, and ongoing policy debates. Next, understand AI failures and how to manage the risks, looking at cases from housing algorithms to facial-recognition systems to insurance claims. Other modules will help you become conversant with privacy, copyright, and licensing concerns; how racial and gender bias can manifest itself in machine-learning models; how people perceive human replacement by AI; and how to recognize AI abuses including misinformation and deepfakes. You’ll master the AI Readiness Tool, a diagnostic framework that empowers you to implement AI strategies that are trustworthy and compliant, and in your capstone project you’ll develop an AI Impact Assessment that evaluates a real-world system. The program’s content is regularly refreshed with the newest research findings and industry practices.
With Strategies for Accountable AI, you will leverage the guardrails you need to get the most out of artificial intelligence, reaping maximum rewards for your organization.
