AI in Society

3 credits · Undergraduate

Alongside political, cultural, and environmental tensions, AI-powered technologies are reshaping our world, bringing opportunities and challenges for both everyday people and changemakers of all kinds. Students navigate the ethical and societal decisions they will face using a blend of intellectual and experiential learning methods, by providing an overview of the ways that we can understand and foster ethical development and use of AI in organizations and society. We explore the ways in which AI empowers and disempowers people from different racial, ethnic, economic, linguistic and geographic groups in society, and what choices we can make to avert disparate negative impacts and put AI to use in service of a more equitable future.
