HSL657 : Machine Minds: philosophy of AI

[edit]

This course offers a set of philosophical perspectives to the question of how we should understand minds and intelligent behaviour. Drawing from classical debates and thought experiments in philosophy, the course explores a series of inquiries central to the AI paradigm. The course will also delve into the ethical issues about AI and consider the possibility and desirability of machine ethics. Questions about whether machines can become autonomous agents in any significant sense and what implications it has for attributing accountability are taken up.
