UGST 109 FIG Seminar
XXXX | XXXXX | 16461 | 1 Credit
The ubiquity of computers and artificial intelligence applications in our modern world has brought to the fore many questions about our relationship to technology and its place in our society. Nevertheless, our concerns with technology are not new, and neither is our relationship with it. Furthermore, computer technology is not the only technology around us. From bread to architecture, from glass to rope, from gears to electric grids, and from radio to satellites, the human species is and has always been immersed in technological environments. This aspect of our world has always shaped the things we do and are able to do, as well as the ways we treat each other and the ways we can treat each other. Both of which are ethical questions. In this course, instead of thinking that technology is merely an addition to our otherwise natural way of living or that technology is something we need to control and mitigate in our midst, we will explore the ethical implications of being a technological species in the first place.
