Artificial intelligence is no longer a speculative technology; it is already part of our life and it is foreseen that it will play an increasingly predominant role in our contemporary society.
From generative systems used in the arts to predictive tools in criminal justice, autonomous vehicles, robot companions, surveillance infrastructures, and military applications, AI systems are reshaping institutions, labour markets, transports, responsibility and even healthcare and privacy.
This postgraduate course offers a rigorous, exercise-driven examination of the ethical challenges raised by AI. It combines conceptual analysis with applied case evaluation and policy design. Students will engage deeply with competing ethical frameworks and morality, and apply them to high-stakes technological contexts.
