About this Course

Is AI going to dominate the world? Are we doomed or is there a way to develop the perfect AI that will work with us to create a better world? The scope of AI runs deep, and interestingly, it has always had its roots in philosophy. Dalham’s course titled ‘Philosophy in AI’ takes a deep dive into the role of philosophy in designing AI that functions ethically. Led by Dr Kit Patrick, the course explores concepts like consciousness, epistemology and free will.
