In this class, I have three weeks set aside for students to pick an emerging technology and discuss it and ethical dilemmas that might occur from those technologies. There are a variety of topics you may want to talk about including:

  • Artificial Intelligence in HR roles
  • Technology in Policing
  • Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms in the Stock Market
  • “Green Energy”
  • and many, many more. This is truly a your choice.

We shall discuss, and students are expected to research, and provide thoughts both pro and con on a subject. Now, you might think, for example, what is wrong with “Green Energy” How could that be an ethical issue. I encourage you to watch the video below as a great example of this very issue.
