Denise Valenti for the Office of Communications, Princeton University; Graduate students explore the ethics of artificial intelligence
"As artificial intelligence advances, the questions surrounding its
use have become increasingly complex. To introduce students to the
challenges the technology could present and to prepare them to engage in
and lead conversations about its ethical use, the Graduate School this year is offering a Professional Learning Development Cohort titled “Ethics of AI.”
This cohort offering is part of the Graduate School’s larger
commitment to equip students with skills they can apply across a full
range of professional settings in which they may make important
contributions after leaving Princeton.
Nineteen graduate students from various disciplines — including psychology, politics, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and quantitative and computational biology
— are participating in the five-part learning series. Through
presentations, case studies, readings and discussions, they are
developing an awareness of the issues at stake and considering their
application in real-world situations.
“A recurring theme I hear from leaders in the technology industry is
that there is a growing need for people who can engage rigorously with
fundamental ethical issues surrounding technological advances,” said Sarah-Jane Leslie,
dean of the Graduate School. “A great many of Princeton’s graduate
students are exceptionally well-placed to contribute precisely that
robust ethical thinking, so we wanted to provide a forum for our
students to deepen their knowledge of these issues.”"
