| Description | This course introduces students to the relevance and importance of ethics in the artificial intelligence (AI)-human relationship and the social impact of AI. In contemporary humanities and philosophy, the concept of the post-human condition has gained popularity and support. One core post-humanist idea is that human beings share a universe also populated by nonhuman conscious beings that can be considered as subjects. A subject of knowledge, scientifically and philosophically speaking, is a center of consciousness that can apprehend things. A number of pressing issues face us such as whether any of super intelligent machines have minds like that of the human and what the moral relation between human beings and artificial intelligence would be. This course provides students with an understanding of the impact of AI on society, the ontological status of AI, the moral status of AI and the moral relationship between humans and AI. Students will learn to analyze and question ethical and social problems originated from the presence of AI in human society. |
