Advances in artificial intelligence and the widespread use of computers in society confront us with many interesting philosophical questions. What is computation? Is AI really intelligence? Could computers ever think or feel?Is the Turing test a good test? Are we really computers? Are there decisions computers should never make? Do computers threaten our privacy inspecial ways? Should AI be regulated, and how? We will survey some of the controversies and puzzles that AI has provoked.

Caroline was my favorite lecturer at CCS. I took her narrative prose class multiple times, her profiles classes are spectacular, she's funny, insightful and anyone who thinks she's boring is not paying attention. I felt like I got adequate feedback on my writing, both positive & critical. She introduced me to be about 90% of my favorite writers.

Caroline Allen is one of the greatest teachers I've ever had the pleasure of studying with. Her classes are both challenging and rewarding, and her warmth and brilliance are unmatched. Caroline is one of those people who has steeped herself in great books. Her classes are difficult, charming and hilarious. I always left wiser and still laughing

She's so funny. She makes the class worth it to show up every day and give it your all. I wish I could take every class with her.
