AI Standards: System Design Considerations for Data Privacy

This course focuses on design considerations and how the use of data and the data lifecycle play a fundamental role in privacy design. The goals of the course include exploring how software engineers ensure that privacy engineering requirements are satisfied within the contexts of use, end-user, third-parties, and potential re-purposing of the application or service developed. The course provides practical tips and guides as techniques the software engineer or developer can use to become versant in privacy design.

Blockchain Governance and Human Rights

This module provides ways to think about how the architecture of blockchain technologies shapes governance processes and the forging and maintenance of a legal system. Similar to the Internet, blockchain technologies challenge our ideas about the relation between technology, governance, and the rule of law. Blockchain-based systems could potentially impact human rights provisions such as the right to nationality and to privacy.
