Student experience

the class

In-depth examination of contemporary moral and political issues in artificial intelligence (AI) and Data Ethics, integrating urgent problems, controversies, and continuously updated case studies. Covers topics such as the use of facial recognition technology in law and immigration enforcement, algorithmically-supported hiring processes, and the complex dynamics of human-computer interaction. Includes critical engagement with cutting-edge research in applied moral/political philosophy, such as on competing theories of justice and political legitimacy as well as on key normative concepts like trust, autonomy, privacy, explainability; and case studies drawing from work in computer sciences and applied statistics.
