***(IMPORTANT: Learners are asked to keep cameras on in this social, discussion-based class.)*** Let's philosophically explore together how the rise of AI has, or perhaps will, impact human relationships, for both better and worse. This class will not be a lecture, but will be discussion-based and learner-centered. My role will be to engage the students with questions based on a basic outline and to serve as a guide/moderator to keep us on task. The main goal will be for students to engage in discussion and share their own insights and views. Given our class goals, cameras are required to be kept on.
Learning Goals
Students will practice engaging in reflection, critical thinking, and debate about the effects of present and future AI technologies on human relationships.Students will benefit from being able to engage in philosophical discussion, listen to different perspectives, gain insights from other points of view, and defend their own viewpoints.Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class will explore many social and ethical implications that could arise from the growth of the field of AI technology as well as how it can impact human relationships, so it may not be suited for sensitive learners. Parents are the best to judge if their child would be comfortable exploring the potential effects of the growth of AI, including the possibility for humanoid robots to become part of our everyday society. The class will also allow for the free exchange of ideas from the learners. Therefore, parents can decide if the open-discussion nature of the class is a good fit for their young learner(s). Of course, all discussions will always be moderated in a way to keep examples and views relevant, appropriate, and in line with Outschool's policies.
Supply List
Some students find it fun to create art while chatting, so a notebook or paper might be good to have close by to draw, doodle or even make something with clay. This is just an optional idea and certainly not required but can increase focus and creativity in some learners. Some students may want to take optional notes as well, depending on their academic goals.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
