Responsible AI
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced at an astonishing pace—but not without significant challenges. From biased predictive sentencing software to discriminatory hiring algorithms, and from radicalizing recommendation systems to pervasive digital surveillance, AI has demonstrated both its power and its pitfalls.
This Praxis Lab explored the ethical dilemmas and unintended consequences of AI across key domains, including bias and discrimination, radicalization and polarization, privacy and surveillance, environmental sustainability, and labor. Through readings, discussions, case studies, guest lectures, hands-on coding exercises, and field trips, students critically examined how AI shapes society and what safeguards could help mitigate its risks.
