Artificial Intelligence in Society

Catalog description

How does artificial intelligence impact society? In this course, we will examine how AI and related algorithmic technologies shape, and are shaped by, societal issues and factors. We will critically examine historical and contemporary research and applications of AI from social, cultural, and policy perspectives. Students will encounter a variety of perspectives from science and technology studies, the humanities, and the social sciences and use real-world cases in order to analyze how AI technologies may differentially impact people, communities, and societies.
