Cal State East Bay Launches First-Ever Ethical AI in Business and Leadership Certificate Program
BY ELIAS BARBOZA
Today’s rapidly evolving artificial intelligence technology has integrated itself into almost every aspect around the world, including art, finance, teaching and business. With this new capability, ethical issues are bound to arise, and Cal State East Bay’s new Certificate in Ethical AI in Business and Leadership Program aims to educate about these possibilities and provide tools to make informed decisions and ethical considerations within the progressing world of AI.
Launching spring 2025, the fully-online certificate program offers thorough training in AI ethics through three comprehensive courses and can be completed in two to three months. “AI is basically a bunch of data, and data can be very powerful, so it’s important to consider where that data comes from, where it’s going and who has control over it,” said Enrique Lopez, one of the program instructors who will focus his efforts on teaching students to be critical of AI. “AI is very useful, and it can also be used for harm. Being ethical with AI is important because it’s already becoming part of our lives, so understanding the implications of using these tools will help us keep it as a sustainable tool for us.”
