AI & Technology Ethics →
From deepfakes to algorithmic bias, navigate the ethical challenges of a world where technology moves faster than our ability to understand its consequences. You'll navigate four escalating scenarios — from the deepfake dilemma to the ethical builder — practicing the decisions that matter most when the pressure is real and the stakes are personal. This isn't theory. It's practice for the moments that define how this chapter of your life unfolds.

What happens in this story4 scenarios
Your application was rejected by an algorithm. No human reviewed it, no one can explain why, and the appeal process is a chatbot loop that leads nowhere.
You start researching how the algorithm works and discover it was trained on biased data. The system isn't neutral — it's amplifying inequalities at scale while hiding behind the word 'objective.'
You find others who were rejected by the same system. The pattern is clear but proving algorithmic bias feels like fighting a ghost — the code is proprietary and the company won't open it.
You decide whether to accept the decision, fight it, or build awareness. The algorithm will keep making decisions about people's lives — the question is whether anyone will hold it accountable.
