(3 units). Artificial Intelligence technologies are becoming ever more present in applications like: automated vehicles and mobility-as-a-service (e.g. driving and system-level control algorithms); consumer electronics (e.g. social robots and smart speakers); healthcare (e.g. image classification in medical imaging); and weapons systems (e.g. targeting and kill decision-making). Many of these applications are raising significant ethical concerns. A range of topics in applied technology ethics are examined through the lens of contemporary philosophy and applied ethics texts and popular media articles. Practical frameworks, methodologies and tools for anticipating, and addressing, ethical issues are introduced through hands-on, group-based design thinking workshops and projects. Course Component: Lecture Courses CSI 5195, DTI 5310, DTO 5310, ELG 5295, IAI 5130, SYS 5295 cannot be combined for units. This course is reserved for students registered in an Electrical and Computer Engineering Program with a Concentration Applied Artificial Intelligence.
