PHIL 3806 - Data Ethics

Credit Hours: (3)

Description: A relatively new and rapidly developing field of moral theory, Data Ethics focuses on ethical problems posed by the ever-expanding volume of data that surrounds us, the collection and analysis of large datasets and on the use of “big data.” This course will examine select moral problems related to data (including creation/storage, data farming, and usage), algorithms (artificial intelligence, algorithmic bias, etc.) and corresponding practices (responsibility, privacy/surveillance, etc.).
