TRAIL provide participants with the foundational knowledge, skills and tools to responsibly design and conduct their artificial intelligence (AI) projects.
TRAIL attendees learn how to apply best practices and methodologies throughout the AI life cycle, from identifying ethical concerns to assessing impact and investigating and mitigating unintended consequences.
Led by experienced facilitators and taught by renowned Mila faculty and experts, participants have an opportunity to discuss and work with their peers and other professionals on real-world case studies. TRAIL is a space for co-creating knowledge with peers in order to collectively build a culture of responsible AI.
Who should take this course?
The program is aimed at anyone involved in the creation, deployment, maintenance, sale or acquisition of AI systems. This includes technical staff, executives and managers involved in the deployment or use of AI systems. In addition, our customized offer enables organizations to train entire teams at all levels of responsibility.
I realized that the field of ethical AI is much broader than I thought. Practical case studies showed us the questions we need to ask at every stage to ensure that our projects are conducted ethically. It's a great course to start thinking in terms of ethical AI and to introduce more of its elements into our business.
Teaching Method
The program comprises 12 hours of synchronous training.
Wherever possible, participants receive pre-assignments for each module to prepare for the session and enrich discussions. Session content is balanced between expert presentations and practical workshops. Real-life use cases are used to reinforce learning. Participants also benefit from moments of interaction with the experts and discussions with their peers.
This training program is designed around a competency-based approach.
For groups of 15 or more participants, TRAIL can be offered as a custom made programme. Please contact solenne.savoia@mila.quebec for more information.
This 12-hour program can be offered in person over 3 modules spread over 3 weeks, or online. In the latter case, the program consists of 5 shorter modules spread over 5 weeks.
