Do you curate your algorithms - or do your algorithms curate you? As we all know, AI and other digital technologies are reshaping the way we go about our daily lives - they influence what news we see, the music we play and shows we stream, who we date, how we form and maintain friendships, and even how we learn. It can be daunting to know which of these increasingly pervasive technologies are good for us. How should we take advantage of the many opportunities that AI offers, while still doing everything we need to do to flourish as human beings? That’s our central question. As we wrestle with it, you will develop a toolbox of ethical insights and practical skills for mapping a wise path through the challenges AI presents.
By the end of the course students should have gained:1. An understanding of key concepts in ethics and AI.2. An ability to apply philosophical concepts to real-world scenarios.3. An ability to evaluate the ethical impact of evolving AI technologies on their personal and professional development, relationships, values and goals.4.
