Briefing
This module is more than hard facts. While Artificial Intelligence solves a lot of important problems very well, it is also a technology full of surprises, ambiguities, and moral dilemmas. For this reason you have to piece together the material yourselves and look for a meaning whih is relevant to you. It is important to read and hear different perspectives on the subject, and therefore I provide a range of video links and a long reading list.
Key recurring questions
- What is intelligence?
- What is AI?
- Is AI possible?
