SLGP7108

We explore data privacy violations, misinformation, algorithmic bias, inauthentic behaviors, and other issues in the application of AI and machine learning technologies in digital governance. We are concerned with how these issues are addressed at the forefront of practice by domain experts, but we will also consider how they are situated in the broader regulatory and administrative picture. Students who have outstanding performance in the policy paper component will be given the option to join a subsidized trip to Facebook’s campus and other tech companies based in California. We will approach all topics in a generalist and non-technical manner. No prior knowledge of data science/machine learning or other technical background is required.

Assessment: 100% coursework
