Description

In 2014, a machine passed the Turing Test for the first time since it was developed by Alan Turing in 1950.
The test was based in the question “Can a computer trick a human into thinking it’s actually a fellow human?”.
Even more recently, self-driving cars started driving completely autonomously without a safety driver.
The recent developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are opening up new possibilities but also presenting new challenges and ethical dilemmas. In this elective, students will be introduced to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning through a series of lectures, presentations, hands-on workshops and discussions. What is the current state of AI, and where is it going? How does a machine learn? And why must self-driving cars be programmed to kill? Invited guest lecturers will include media artist and theorist Florian Cramer, and artist and entrepreneur Gaspard Bos.
