EMDA 330 - Cybernetics & Cyberculture

4 credits
Students encounter the major paradigms behind self-governing and artificial intelligence technology, discuss the historical and cultural legacies that influence our responses to such technology, and debate the ethical and philosophical issues raised by this technology, especially its role in our day-to-day lives. In addition to research essays, students have the option of demonstrating their grasp of the course material through “critical making” and transmedia projects they can add to their portfolios.
