PHIL 3430: Ethics of Computing and Artificial Intelligence
Credits: 3. Contact Hours: Lecture 3.
Computer technology and artificial intelligence (including generative AI, predictive algorithms, AI agents and robots) have changed the ways that humans gather information, make decisions, live and work – as individuals and in groups, as active creators or users, and as passively affected members of a digital society. Selected philosophical issues are drawn from ethics, political philosophy, and epistemology. Other areas include law, politics, economics, sociology, business, and design. Topics include responsibility, safety, sustainability, reliability, trust, privacy, ownership, exploitation, and alignment with human values. (Typically Offered: Fall, Spring)
