As AI grows in popularity and ubiquity, considering its social, ethical, and interpersonal impacts is crucial. How can AI be understood as part of the sociocultural fabric? How does one balance the harms caused by AI systems with the benefits it (reportedly) provides? In this class, students explore the philosophical and ethical aspects of AI in conversation with the practical implementations of AI systems. Prerequisite: SDS 192, SDS 210, CSC 110, PHI 100, or PHI 102. Enrollment limited to 25.

[CE] SDS 192, SDS 210, CSC 110, PHI 100, or PHI 102
