Course Description: Given the availability of advanced computer chips, processing power, and data storage, AI has seen dramatic growth in recent years, transforming various
industries and impacting our daily lives. While AI brings many benefits, it is also been found to cause harm in many ways. We will examine from various angles the benefits and perils of AI, including its impact on economic growth, the global economy, healthcare, and national security, and how it is radically affecting politics. We will also discuss emerging US and global regulatory frameworks for AI and why a human-centered approach is necessary to ensure the respect of human values and rights
