AI is here and finding its way into all of our technologies. AI data centers are popping up like mushrooms. What impacts will this have on society, on the environment, in our workplaces, on our minds? What are the future politics, military and surveillance implications? Are there any existential risk we should consider? Join us as we explore all these questions (and more) over a 6 week course, with deep and collaborative discussions on all of these impacts.
