As chatbots become smarter and more widely used, their impact goes far beyond simple customer service. In this module, we explore the ethical challenges that come with deploying AI chatbots at scale. You’ll learn why even the most advanced bots can fail dangerously when they offer medical, legal, or mental health advice without proper safeguards, and what real-world cases teach us about the consequences of these failures. By examining such scenarios, you’ll understand why responsible design and clear boundaries are critical to user safety.
We’ll also dive into the issue of bias in bots, from gender stereotypes in language to cultural and social imbalances encoded in training data. Through hands-on examples, you’ll see how subtle design choices (like pronoun use or tone) can reinforce harmful stereotypes if not carefully addressed. By the end of this module, you’ll know how to identify risks, test for bias, and build chatbots that are not only scalable but also ethical, inclusive, and trustworthy for diverse audiences.
