Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence.
In Lesson 12, the goal is to introduce the topic of AI in a general and comprehensive way. I’ll lay the conceptual groundwork for the remaining few lessons, and I’ll try to address some common misconceptions in the popular discussions of AI. I make available a number of resources and examples available in several lecture videos that together serve as an intro to AI, ethics, and philosophy. These are the lecture videos I use in my other courses (STS 351 & HSS 405). You are not responsible for all this material! Feel free to watch the videos you find interesting, and to engage whichever components you feel motivated to engage. You might consider the following questions:
- Can machines think?
- What are the ethical challenges of thinking machines?
- How should thinking machines treat people?
- How should people treat thinking machines?
- What are hopes and fears concerning thinking machines?
