Artificial Intelligence

Purdue University in West Lafayette

Human and machine interactions are growing at an exponential pace (just ask Alexa or Siri). So what does it mean to make ethical decisions regarding artificial intelligence and data usage?

Innovations in technology, big data, and artificial intelligence have consequences that deserve thoughtful, intentional consideration. How is big data used? What about privacy? Or bias? How do machines influence humans? What is responsible technology?

This major is for people who are science-curious and want to work in a space where innovative technology is developing yet don’t want to engineer the system or people who want to explore the human aspects of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big data. It is also for the people building the technology and writing the code who recognize their obligation to use technology and data responsibly.
