Note that all of the course material is being hosted by the NSF AI Institute for Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography, though OU students will access it via canvas.  This enables the material to be available to anyone outside of OU as well, which is part of the educational outreach of the NSF institute. Not only are we collecting all of the materials in one place to make it easier for the students but we want to share what we have created for AI Ethics broadly!  Please feel free to use any of the materials you find here for your own course offerings or just your own education.
