This reading group will examine key readings and projects surrounding the ethics and governance of the opaque complex adaptive systems that are increasingly in public and private use. We will range among the proliferation of algorithmic decisionmaking, autonomous systems, and machine learning and explanation; the search for balance between regulation and innovation; and the effects of AI on the dissemination of information, along with questions related to individual rights, discrimination, and architectures of control.
Note: This reading group is currently slated to meet on the following dates, subject to change: 9/12, 9/19, 10/3, 10/11, 10/17, 10/24
