Free Systems: Preserving Liberty in an Algorithmic World

3 credits · Undergraduate

AI is remaking how societies inform themselves, make decisions, and govern. This course dives in hands-on: we'll build AI agents, stress-test them for political bias, run governance simulations, trade on prediction markets, and study what crypto's wild experiments in decentralized rule-making got right and wrong. The goal is to understand our increasingly algorithmic world and to prototype the institutions that will keep it free.
