Module 2
MODULE 2 – The use of AI and the practical connotations of data protection, IT security and ethical principles
Path to excellence: The use of AI and the practical connotations of data protection, cybersecurity and ethical principles
academic year 2023/2024
– 35 hours per academic year
– extended mode
– recipients: students of the L20 three-year degree course in Innovative Technologies for Digital Communication, other students of Link Campus University and external subjects.
This module addresses:
- The knowledge gap on AI and the characteristics it must have to be in line with EU fundamental principles.
- The knowledge gap on the ethical implications of using AI.
- The knowledge gap on data protection and cybersecurity related to the use of artificial intelligence;
- The gap relating to the implications linked to digital communication and the related responsibility profiles.
- The EU Code of Ethics and issues related to the ethical use of AI in a historical context such as the current one
- The practices prohibited for AI, those that leverage the vulnerabilities of individuals (linked to social or economic status), and the transparency measures necessary for the lawful use of AI.
As part of the Buth-AI project, participants had the opportunity to explore a number of topics related to the practical applications of artificial intelligence.
In particular, the aspects of personal data protection were addressed, with specific reference to the implications that AI systems entail for the protection of personal data, for their use and for their protection, of ethics, which governs, or should govern, all phases of the use of AI, from the design of the algorithms to the use of the output generated by them, both with reference to the translation sector, where artificial intelligence could represent a ‘threat’ to the activity of the professional translator.
During the course, a game called the Buth-AI game was created with the specific aim of introducing young people to the conscious use of artificial intelligence systems.
The game, through a series of questions, leads the player on a path towards becoming aware of the mechanisms, principles and criticalities connected to artificial intelligence systems, so that the use of these tools is not only a passive and automatic use, but a reasoned and conscious one, both of the risks and of the opportunities that AI offers to all users.
Why a game made by young people, for young people?
We used the subject knowledge provided by the experts who took turns in the theoretical lessons to apply them to the practical needs and requirements of the young people participating in the project. This synergy allowed us to create a game that, although it deals with a complex subject, provides concrete indications, using simple language that can be used by everyone.
