Introducción

Imagine a world where your phone predicts your next text, music apps recommend songs you haven't heard but will love, and even cars drive themselves. That's the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and it's just out in the streets!

AI is rapidly changing our world, from entertainment to healthcare. But with great power comes great responsibility, as Uncle Ben wisely said (do you remember the movie?).

This whole unit is about exploring the exciting world of AI and Big Data, but also the ethical questions that come with it.  In this module we will reflect on how AI works, its promising possibilities but also the potential pitfalls we need to watch out for.

Some initial questions we will explore:

  • AI in Action: See how AI is already used in your everyday life, from social media to video games.
  • Friend or Foe? Explore the benefits and risks of AI, like its potential to solve problems but also create bias.
  • The Moral Machine: We'll play a game that puts AI in tricky situations and forces us to make tough choices!
  • The Future is Now: Discuss the impact of AI on jobs, education, and even society as a whole.

What you will learn

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

  • think critically about AI
  • know about AI impact in everyday situations
  • Social implications of AI and its biases
