This course will make students familiar with fundamental issues in the philosophy of AI, and will introduce them to several current discussions in the field. Students will practice their argumentation and presentation skills, both in class discussions and in writing.
The course is split up in three parts. The first part is a quick overview of the fundamental issues and core notions in philosophy of AI. It addresses topics such as the Turing Test, the Chinese Room Argument, machine intelligence, machine consciousness, weak and strong AI, and the Symbol System Hypothesis. The goal of this part of the course is to establish a shared background for all students. The material of this part will be assessed with a writing assignment.
In the second part of the course, there will be an in-depth discussion of several current topics in the field, for example on ethics and responsibility in AI, decision making, or explainable AI. On each topic, there will be a lecture, and a seminar with class discussions and student presentations. Students prepare for those discussions by making a writing assignment about the required reading in which they practice their argumentative skills. In the third part of the course, students will write a philosophical paper, and will provide feedback on their fellow students' draft papers. More information in Blackboard
