Upper Level Teaching of the Ethics of AI in light of the Ubiquitous Spread of Information and Communications Technologies

Project Summary

Artificial intelligence, a tributary of information and communications technologies (ICTs), continues to disrupt and reshape modern societies, and has brought to the fore a number of ethical issues. In the matter of the upper level teaching of the ethics of artificial intelligence, precious few resources impart a unified understanding of the ethical competencies necessary in AI. This project seeks to produce a competency framework combining reflection into ethics and media studies of ICTs, the sole manner in which to provide a unified vision of the competencies required for the upper level teaching of the ethics of AI.
