Can you trust the systems that shape your future?
What happens when an algorithm labels you as high-risk — without explanation? What if that decision changes your life, your job, or your access to services?
This isn’t hypothetical. It happened during the Dutch Toeslagenaffaire, where thousands of families were unjustly targeted by an opaque, AI-supported system. Understanding how AI works — and how it should work — is no longer optional.
This course gives you the context, the tools, and the critical lens to navigate AI in society.
