F25-34 - Introduction to AI: Technology and Human Values
Zoom | Registration opens 9/2/2025 9:00 AM
This is an introductory course for those who have not taken my AI courses before. Artificial Intelligence poses
challenges that are both technical and social. It is changing the world with its new developments and
applications such as Chat GPT, robots, facial recognition, machine learning among others. What is responsible
AI? Where are the biases and how do they present themselves? How and from ‘whom’ do self-learning AI
systems learn? What is the impact of AI on privacy? Social media? Can we create moral autonomous agents?
We will explore these questions together. The course will use an Interactive discussion and lecture format.
