Abstract
This interactive resource introduces learners to the ethical challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) through scenario-based exercises. It is designed to support AI literacy and foster critical ethical reflection, particularly for those without technical backgrounds. The exercises present realistic case studies in areas such as hiring, medical diagnostics, border control, education, legal services, and content moderation. Each scenario places learners in the role of a decision-maker and requires them to decide on how, when, and whether to use the AI in their professional life. The scenarios also encourage reflection and discussion on broader systemic constraints that may influence individual decision-making.
These exercises are accessible across devices and compatible with online learning environments. This resource can be used for classroom teaching, professional training, or self-paced study. It aims to help learners recognize the ethical dimensions of AI, explore the limits of automation, and strengthen their capacity for responsible, human-centered decision-making.
