This course undertakes an interdisciplinary exploration of the legal, ethical, and cultural implications of generative artificial intelligence and how it has impacted industries from manufacturing to policing. Employing a socio-legal lens, the course scrutinizes the complexities of crafting public policy and regulatory frameworks in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. The curriculum balances the drive for innovation with ethical imperatives, focusing on pivotal issues such as data privacy, national security, and intellectual property. A special emphasis is placed on the cultural ramifications of these technologies, particularly as they intersect with issues of race, gender, and social justice. Via in-depth case analyses, ethical deliberations, and evaluations of technological applications, students will gain a nuanced perspective on the multifaceted challenges and opportunities that generative artificial intelligence presents.Social Science and History (SSHIS) courses develop students' critical thinking skills through the study of history and the social sciences (e.g. sociology, psychology, economics, political science, anthropology, geography), as well as through contemporary interdisciplines that draw heavily on these fields (e.g. feminist and queer studies, media studies, urban studies, ethnic studies). Subject matter in these courses contributes to students' cultural literacy while instructional materials and classroom assignments introduce basic research problems and techniques.
