Grokking AI for Engineering & Product Managers

# Introduction
>"***Deploying AI requires careful management to prevent unintentional but significant damage, not only to brand reputation but, more importantly, to workers, individuals, and society as a whole.***"

Though AI can supercharge businesses and society, **with great power comes great responsibility**. AI bias, discrimination, and privacy violations are concerns that can damage, often unintentionally, both brand reputation and society. Given the value at stake, in this section, we are going to talk about responsible AI.

Whether you are a Fortune 500 or a startup in a garage, all companies dealing with data and smart insights need to grapple with ethical considerations. Misuse of data, privacy violations, and ethical concerns (e.g., Cambridge Analytica scandal) have given news anchors much to talk about over the past few years, and rightly so. 


The value that AI brings to the table is too high for organizations to play it safe and not harness its power. Therefore, as a leader, **it is your responsibility to take the appropriate measures to embrace AI in a responsible manner**; it is your responsibility to prevent grave mistakes as your team deploys AI into your applications, even (or especially) when the use case seems innocuous. There have been too many cases of well-intentioned teams ending up with negative press for their smart work!

As a result, **leaders need to ensure that AI outputs are fair, that AI does not result in discrimination, data acquisition is not coming at the expense of users’ privacy, and your team is not driving up performance at the cost of lost transparency.**

Let’s dive into the key areas you should be challenging your teams to ensure that you are being a responsible “AI citizen.” Namely, in the next lessons, you will learn about **fairness, interpretability, privacy, and security**.



In this lesson, you will learn about creating responsible AI.
