PHIL197

This course provides an in-depth study of ethical issues resulting from the growing influence artificial intelligence has on our lives. How are predictive and generative A.I. influencing our lives? How much influence or control should we allow A.I. to have in the world? How should we balance the advancement of technology with the protection of human rights? Are A.I. algorithms biased? What role should A.I. play in our personal lives? Should A.I. ever have rights? The class will focus on the personal, professional, social, and political implications of A.I. by identifying related ethical dilemmas and exploring how we might address these dilemmas. Students will be exposed to a wide diversity of subject matter via lectures, readings, discussions, and other media in this exploration.
