Prerequisites (description)

The aim of the course is to present anthropological concepts related to the direction of the development of artificial intelligence. During the course, we will try to find answers to questions about the impact of AI on the assessment of moral choices, automation of various areas of science and life, and the idea of personalist anthropology and personal choices and decisions of a person, the impact of AI on social development and ethics. In addition, we will try to answer the question about the possibility of applying AI in social life as well as influencing human values.
