SOCIOL 290: Human-AI Co-Evolution
Professor Chris Bail
WF 11:45 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Through readings in sociology, computer science, psychology, and related fields, this class explores how AI and society change in response to and relationship with each other. We will explore how future AI agents in health systems, media networks, international corporations, and global financial markets can evolve productively with appropriate security guardrails. Rooted in a deep understanding of human culture and social psychology, we will evaluate AI training systems to assess whether their societal impact will be positive and equitable across marginalized communities.
