In this course we will discuss ethical issues related to working with data, computing, and artificial intelligence. These topics include, algorithmic bias and discrimination; data privacy; accountability and transparency; and individual rights in an increasingly Big Data-driven society. We will also discuss the impacts of rapid technological change on society and humanity. Through a variety of cases, students will use some of the tools of ethical reasoning to analyze these problems and develop their own solutions.
This course is limited to Computer Science and Data Science majors.
For Computer Science and Data Science majors only for the first week of pre-registration. Then open to all in the second week.
