Description
Using a Sociological Lens, the Artificial Intelligence, Crime & Society Minor will focus on how AI technologies are both shaped by and shape various social, economic, political, and cultural dynamics. After gaining a foundational understanding about sociology and social problems, students will focus on: the historical development of AI and its impacts; the importance of science and technology in contemporary societies; the intricate relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and social structures; the politics embedded in algorithms as technological objects; and the role of AI in enabling, facilitating, or challenging social inequality in the criminal justice system. Students will also be able to select 3 courses from the new AI & Society program being developed by the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS).
