Graduate Certificate in Ethical A.I
The impact of A.I. is expanding rapidly, but due to its complexity it offers challenges to ensuring proper, ethical, unbiased and transparent operations. This is evidenced by increasing reporting on the use and misuse of AI in government and media, and calls for greater scrutiny and oversight. Skills related to ethical use of AI will be more and more important for both developers and users of AI technology. To address these needs, SF State’s Computer Science Department, College of Business and Philosophy Department established a multi-College Graduate Certificate in Ethical AI. Our approach to this certificate is unique in its multidisciplinary and multi-College nature, which involves three critical areas necessary to understanding this subject.
B.A. in Philosophy: Concentration in Philosophy and Law
The Department of Philosophy is thrilled to offer a new Bachelor's degree program in Philosophy with a Concentration in Philosophy and Law. The new B.A. in Philosophy: Concentration in Philosophy and Law will replace the current Philosophy and Law emphasis as of Fall 2022.
