CPEC 207 - Society in the Age of Intelligent Machines (4 Cr.) (GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)
The world is currently in the midst of an immense social transformation, brought on not only by the emergence of powerful new technologies, the implications of which we have only begun to consider, but by an additional set of intersecting issues concerning the future of employment, the legitimacy of political institutions, and even the status of truth. Despite its gloominess, however, this historical moment is, in fact, an ideal standpoint from which to do the work of contemplating the future and that is the purpose of this course: to consider the ways society will cope with the rapid development of autonomous machines and to contemplate the future implications, both the economic and philosophical, of these changes. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. DeCaroli.
