    Exciting New Course for Fall 2025

    With AI becoming such an integral part of our world, PHI 3280 may be of particular interest to students in the Information Technology and Social Responsibility minor and to students majoring in Computer Science (BS degree) or Computer Information Systems (BBA degree).

    PHI 3280 The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

    This course explores the ethical, social, and political implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and evaluates its impact on our lives. After a brief introduction to AI and Machine Learning, the course studies a variety of questions concerning the fairness, bias, manipulation, and accountability of a number of types of AI, including generative AI, deep fakes, and facial recognition technology. Students will learn to identify and evaluate key themes and ethical challenges that cut across these various contexts and technologies as well as the strategies that researchers and policymakers have proposed for addressing them.

    Prerequisite: Any 1000-level course in Philosophy

    PHI 3280 The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
