AI Today: Logic Machines, Generative Technology and Computational Culture (P5085)
15 credits, Level 6
Spring teaching
You will study past and present discourses about artificial intelligence and consider the role that computational technologies play in the study of the mind, perception and experience.
After discussing and analysing some of the main concepts, topics and strands in AI research, you’ll focus on the ways in which artificial intelligence impacts modern culture and society, as well as its many contemporary applications and implementations.
You will also consider the ways in which cultural and societal issues, and representations of cognitive activity, might inform present understandings of (and possibilities for) ‘smart’ technologies.
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology.

However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
