Abstract

Increasing ethical concerns necessitate AI ethics forms part of practical software engineering (SE) foundational educational learning. Using an ethnographic approach and focus group discussions in a SE project-based learning environment, WIMMA lab, we gain insight into how AI ethics can be implemented to enable students to acquire these necessary skills. We propose a framework as an outcome to aid the implementation of AI ethics skills within SE project-based learning environments.
