HUM 195-01 - Introductory Special Topic: I/Robot

2 credits (Spring Term 1)

Cross-listed as: SST 195-01. How will/have our relationships to machines changed our relationships to other humans? Students in I/Robot, an interdisciplinary course sponsored by the Center for the Humanities, will explore this question by learning about early androids and artificial intelligence, studying representations of machines, exploring human-machine relationships, and choosing one device/machine to study. The course is participation intensive, will be a fair amount of work, and will typically meet synchronously two days a week. All students are welcome.

Prerequisite: None.
Note: Dates: February 22 to March 19.
