PHIL 027. Ethics & Technology

(Cross-listed as CPSC 019 )
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other forms of technology have become pervasive in our daily lives. With this technology comes serious ethical questions. How do we use, create, and regulate all of it responsibly? How might our current and future technologies change our social and political landscape, and how might they change us as individuals? This course examines ethical questions involving social media, data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other topics.
