Course introduction
The aim of the course is to enable the student to analyse it-security, privacy, and it-ethical problems related to big data, artificial intelligence, and data-driven decision processes. This is important to pro-actively respond to it-security, privacy-, and it-ethical problems in system design.
The course provides a foundation for applying the knowledge, competences, and skills, which are acquired in the education, particularly addressing issues related to it-security, privacy, and it-ethics.
In relation to the competence profile of the degree it is the explicit focus of the course to:
- give the competence to handle work- and development situations such that issues concerning it-security, it-ethics, and privacy is pro-actively integrated in the design phase.
- give skills to analyse and reflect upon it-ethical problems, as well as apply methods, such as e.g., Privacy by Design.
- give knowledge and understanding of fundamental methods to identify and handle security related problems.
- give knowledge about ethical problems, such as e.g., bias in algorithms, transparency, fairness, and profiling.
- give knowledge about theories about privacy and privacy enhancing design methods, such as e.g., Privacy by Design.
Expected learning outcome
