In this project, students in groups of 4-6 assume the role of organizational consultants, providing advice on topics related to responsible AI and AI ethics such as: how to develop responsible AI policies, managing the ethical considerations related to an AI implementation, and addressing the impact of AI on the workforce. Students will work on a specific AI-related problem or topic of interest that you have articulated, providing you with their insights or suggestions. The projects give students an in-depth overview of the challenges involved in identifying and addressing the ethical implications of AI use in a business context as well as the implications for society. 

In search of new solutions, a growing number of social entrepreneurs are developing novel strategies to achieve social impact. Bring on students from McGill University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this course are tasked with designing a product or idea that solves a problem or fills a gap in the market. The design of the product or idea must fit within one of the 17 sustainable development goals set by the United Nations. We are looking for organizations with a social mission, where students can use the concepts learned in class to create possible solutions to a common problem.
