Description
The artificial intelligence and philosophy combined major offers students an opportunity to obtain a fluency in formal logic, including logical proofs and the ability to represent arguments clearly and evaluate them for cogency. Students will find that logic plays a fundamental role in computer science and artificial intelligence as they experience an in-depth programming foundation. Students study the collection, manipulation, storage, retrieval, and computational analysis of data in its various forms including numeric, textual, image, and video data from small to large volumes. The philosophy curriculum also focuses on oral and written communication as well as ethical and social issues related to data storage, usage, manipulation, and presentation.
