Fall 2025 Honors Seminar Descriptions
Future Worlds
Monday 6 - 7:15 p.m.
Prof. André Robinson and Prof. Elizabeth Miller
This seminar looks at science based Utopian/Dystopian visions of the future and focuses
on politics and technology. Topics will range from Afrofuturism to Cybernetics to Star Trek.
What does the future hold for our species? What will society look like in the next
millennium? Does our future lie beyond this galaxy?
Artificial Intelligence
Tuesdays 10 - 11:15 a.m.
Prof. Paul Kasili and Prof. Omar Soro
What are the techniques that enable computers to behave intelligently? What are some of the opportunities, challenges, and problems introduced by the emergence and growth of artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence (AI) addresses questions at the intersection of many fields, including computer science, economics, bioinformatics, medicine, linguistics, philosophy, and psychology. It is a part of our everyday lives: googling some keywords, speaking into your phone to compose a text, using Facebook's facial recognition to tag people in a photo, playing chess against a computer, and using Google Translate to read a sign that is not in your language--these are all examples of AI in action. There are difficult ethical issues that emerge in relation to AI, such as the ways implicit biases are built into algorithms used to predict crime, the impact of robots on labor in the global economy, and the debate over whether intelligent computers deserve human rights.
