WHERE TECHNOLOGY MEETS THE HUMANITIES.
ABOUT MAAIF
Hosted by the Hong Kong Catastrophic Risk Centre and the Department of Philosophy of Lingnan University, the Master of Arts in Artificial Intelligence and the Future (MAAIF) offers a humanities-based perspective on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our students gain a fundamental understanding of AI and delve into the ethical and social issues arising from AI technologies through a rigorous interdisciplinary programme combining philosophy, computer science, logic, psychology, and literature. In our wide-ranging curriculum, students will consider the ramifications of AI in a variety of domains, including science, law, economics, public policy, healthcare, and business and finance.
Existing AI programmes with a strong technical focus do not prepare students to tackle the wider ethical and philosophical issues thrown up by this technology. As one of the leading anglophone philosophy departments in Asia, the Department of Philosophy and the Hong Kong Catastrophic Risk Centre at Lingnan University are ideally equipped to meet this challenge. Students will enjoy unprecedented access to an international network of research and business leaders in AI. Classes will be held at Lingnan’s state-of-the-art M+ Campus in the heart of the West Kowloon Cultural District (Subject to approval).
課程概述
