AI applications are everywhere in daily life, ranging from smart breaking systems in cars to the latest apps on mobile phones, from dust cleaning robots at home to big data analyses on Internet, from BCI driven intelligent wheelchairs to drones that shoot missiles. In this course you will actively discuss the ethical, legal and societal implications of such applications, and learn how to provide information concerning the current state-of-the-art and realistic near-future possibilities to a wider audience (general public, policy makers, press). You will learn to develop a professional, critical and responsible stance towards research and development in AI and Cognitive (Neuro)science.
