Credit Hours:
Artificial Intelligence is progressing rapidly and raising questions about human-computer connections and relationships. Social media has made us more connected than ever, yet studies continuously show that loneliness pervades the most tech-savvy generations. In this course, we will imagine how networks like families, communities, social networks, and infrastructure will change as technology grows and our society adapts to that growth. We will use key research around social networks, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction to develop hypotheses about the future of technology and the impact it will have on our relationships. The aim of this class is to discard current assumptions and think of future norms around technology and social connection. Class meetings include a mix of lecture, discussion, and collaborative group activities to test theories and techniques first hand.
