It has been argued that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is experiencing a fast process of commodification. This characterisation is of interest for big IT companies, but it correctly reflects the current industrialization of AI. This phenomenon means that AI systems and products are reaching the society at large and, therefore, that societal issues related to the use of AI and Machine Learning (ML) cannot be ignored any longer. Designing ML models from this human-centered perspective means incorporating human-relevant requirements such as reliability, fairness, privacy, and interpretability, but also considering broad societal issues such as ethics and legislation. These are essential aspects to foster the acceptance of ML-based technologies, as well as to be able to comply with an evolving legislation concerning the impact of digital technologies on ethically and privacy sensitive matters. *Teaching mode:* Theoretical lesson plus laboratories in Python using Google Colab [https://colab.research.google.com/](https://colab.research.google.com/) *Program:* - Introduction to AI and ML - Trustworthy AI and ML - Reliable ML - Fair ML - Private ML - Interpretable/Explainable ML *References:* - L.
