Students will be introduced to ethical models and the impact of Machine Learning on the evolution of society and cultures. In this course students examine and determine Machine Learning practices and how the human-computer interactive elements work together to make ethical deicisions. This will prepare students to develop and implement Machine Learning in an ethical manner in their own careers. Futher, students in this course will gain an understanding of different forms ethical considerations can take in different disciplines.
