Technology Ethics and Society - CMPT 2110

Students will explore the impacts of technology and related business decisions on society and social issues. Emphasis will be placed on the use of data in emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, the impact and harms of data biases, and the resulting ethical dilemmas that are changing how society understands and interacts with these technologies. This course will require students to formulate moral reasoning and analytical skills by working through contemporary examples and real-life applications of technology ethics.  It is highly recommended that students have previous business experience or have taken CMPT 1011 (Introduction to Computing) prior to taking this course.

Note: Prerequisites: ENGL 2510 and CMPT 1510. Restricted to Machine Learning Analyst, Arts and Sciences Diploma, and Open Studies.
