Digital Intelligence: The Ethics of Emerging Technologies

Catalog description

The Digital Intelligence course helps students navigate and understand and analyze the ethical and social impact of emerging technologies through an applied ethical lens. In a flipped-classroom format, students will watch asynchronous videos on a weekly basis featuring leading technology, ethics, and policy experts as they discuss relevant and timely topics such as algorithmic bias, the impact of social media on democracy, and privacy in the digital age. Students will meet weekly in small discussion groups to work through case studies and to critically engage with a practical ethics approach to the topics presented in the video and additional assigned material.
