DESCRIPTION
The course approaches the current and emerging debates, including philosophical arguments around AI, and robotics, analysing the development and implementation of AI technologies from organisational, technical, social, economic and political viewpoints. Class activities and lectures examine the opportunities and impact of AI on everyday life, including education and the workplace. The course combines a foundation in the technical aspects of AI to build a wider understanding of its use and potential abuse with a broader social and philosophical outlook. The course culminates in a holistic exploration of future prospects of AI and whether it offers a path for salvation of humanity or its demise.
