Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course students should have a thorough knowledge of some of the major issues being discussed in the Artificial/Human Intelligence debate. Students should have developed a critical insight into how these issues are evolving and be equipped to evaluate future claims made about Artificial Intelligence. Attendance at lectures and practicals is obligatory as in-class debate and discussion plays a key role in the learning outcomes. As such, failure to attend class activities may be deemed a failure to meet the module's learning outcomes and constitute an unsuccessful attempt at the module.
Indicative Module Content:
The course aims to provide students with a firm understanding of the emerging flash-points in the Artificial/Human Intelligence debate, but one not based on hype but on current scientific findings in the area.
