Assessment Criteria
The course is assessed on a scale of 0 to 5.
Grade 1–2
The student recognizes the key principles of responsible AI use at a basic level—such as data protection and ethical considerations—but applies them only superficially. They can mention examples of possible algorithmic biases and are familiar with current regulations in a very general sense.
Grade 3–4
The student can analyze the impacts of AI solutions on individuals, society, and organizations while taking into account principles of responsibility, including data protection and sustainability aspects. They identify the underlying mechanisms of algorithmic bias and can propose ways to reduce them, applying up-to-date regulations through practical examples. The student understands the importance of explainability (Explainable AI) and can apply it at a basic level.
Grade 5
The student demonstrates an in-depth understanding of responsible AI use and can fully integrate ethical, social, and sustainability perspectives into AI projects. They identify and analyze more complex algorithmic biases and develop clear strategies to mitigate them. The student is well-versed in AI regulations and governance requirements, and is capable of applying Explainable AI principles more comprehensively.
