CPEC 252 - Society in the Age of Intelligent Machines (4 Cr.)

(GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)
We live at a moment in history when technological innovations (from gene editing to cryptocurrencies, from autonomous vehicles to social credit systems) promise to profoundly alter the way we live. In this course, we will study these new technologies for the purpose of considering the near-future implications they foreshadow. Students will work collaboratively to select much of the course material and will work in teams to teach this material to each other in the form of in-depth presentations, all of which is designed to help us better understand our collective future in an age of dramatic technological change. Restricted to first-year through junior students and others with instructor permission. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. DeCaroli.
