Program Professional Framework
Digital Ethics and Responsible Innovation
Program Overview
AI, analytics and automation create real value, but they also raise questions of privacy, fairness, transparency and accountability that organisations can no longer treat as afterthoughts. This programme equips leaders and practitioners to embed ethics into the design and deployment of digital products and services. It covers ethical principles and national AI ethics guidance in the Gulf, personal data protection laws in Saudi Arabia and the UAE alongside GDPR, algorithmic bias, explainability, human oversight, and governance tools such as ethics impact assessments, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001.
