Advanced Digital Intelligence

Catalog description

In this course, we will be examining advanced topics in the ethics of emerging technology, and those topics around which scholarly consensus is still emerging. Every other week, we will introduce a new topic, such as tech and social polarization; misinformation and disinformation; and whether cryptocurrency has a legitimate role in modern economies. After exploring the current understanding of each topic, every other week, students will present arguments in favor of and against an emerging consensus on the issue, to advance the entire class's understanding of the topic.
