Artificial Intelligence and the News Media (S274)

S – Economics, Finance and Political Science

Artificial intelligence (AI), envisioned more than 70 years ago, is achieving significant successes almost on a weekly basis. These rapid advances are made possible by machine learning, a type of AI that enables computers to learn new capabilities without traditional programming. In addition to chatbots and self-driving cars, this course explores medical advances made possible through AI, as well as concerns for civil liberties and public discourse posed by uncontrolled technology.
