    • Philosophy of Computing and Artificial Intelligence . PHIL 117

    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.
