| Beschreibung: | Based on an introduction into the aims and methodology of ethics, we will discuss prominent examples of ethical questions surrounding technological developments in digital media. Topics may include surveillance and data privacy issues, cybersecurity, psychological effects of social media, fake news and hate speech, and biases of artificial intelligence. Students will analyze a case study in teams and develop an argument in favor of an ethical position as their semester project. |
| English Abstract: | Technology is shaping the way content is produced, distributed and consumed. Networks, algorithms and collective user behavior shift power, pose new questions about responsibility and sometimes generate unexpected effects. This profound change calls for an enhanced way of regulating and managing digital media. This course is to empower students to analyze the ethical problems arising in this setting and develop a well-founded response to them. |
