About the course

Aim

Having completed course, the student should at a basic level be able to: - provide an account for concepts, theories and problem within applied ethics and the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI), - develop a theoretically informed argumentation in specific problem areas related to AI, - formulate theory-based political recommendations and assessments regarding a moral issue related to AI in a particular professional area, - express an open and critical stance to claims and arguments.

Content

The course deals with ethical questions that rise from the development of more and more sophisticated autonomous systems, questions of what requirements that should hold for the technology and why included, which sort of agents artificial systems are, if these can be considered moral agents and if they can be ascribed moral responsibility as well as where the main responsibility for artificial intelligence (AI) ought to be placed and why. The course focuses three main areas of moral relevance for autonomous systems and AI: responsibility for decisions made by artificial agents, bias/discrimination as a result of AI use and the importance of participation in the development of AI systems. During this course, students are provided theoretical tools for reflection on the development of AI, requirements that ought to made regarding this technology and how it ought to be managed in society.
