Ethics and Human Contexts

The course deals with different perspectives on AI and its real and potential effect on society, individuals and organizations. The course is based on five different perspectives on AI: accountability, surveillance capitalism, power and bias, sustainability, and trust. During the course, cases based on reality are presented, based on which the student works actively to explore potential tensions that arise from the use of AI. To do this, basic methods for qualitative data collection are introduced. Continuous critical reflection is performed based on the course literature. Active discussions founded in different ethical perspectives are an important part of the course.
