Join us to explore the sociology of AI: utopias or dystopias?
How is Artificial Intelligence changing our world? From medical diagnoses to writing novels, from automated warfare to its impact on the labour market, how can we use sociology to help us to understand the impact that this new technology has on our lives? In this taster lecture, we will consider the risks that accompany the promise of artificial intelligence to transform society. In particular, we will examine the role that AI can play in deepening existing inequalities and biases, highlighting the importance of a sociological approach to this phenomenon.
