Lift Your Gaze: Ethics, AI, and Spirituality (CS 189)

3 credits · Graduate

The course explores how AI reshapes our understanding of what it means to be human - considering not only what AI can do but what it should do to further human flourishing. Rather than treating AI solely as a technological or governance challenge, the course delves into AI as a force altering how we develop a sense of self (identity and self-discovery), form bonds (friendship, romantic relationships, professional relationships, connections to religious and spiritual leaders...), seek meaning, explore and experience the very human quest for something greater than ourselves, and understand the boundaries of the human experience. Prominent guest speakers will join select sessions for interactive sessions.
