Before you sign up

For HR managers who want to understand how AI and machine learning decisions are made about people, especially bias in hiring and performance tools. Wharton's focus on data and algorithmic bias is more conceptual than most HR AI courses. The caveats: it's not hands-on with current generative AI tools, it's US-framed, and the certificate is paid. It's also one course of the Wharton AI For Business specialization. For practical recruitment use, try Generative AI for Recruiters and HR Professionals on Coursera.
