Description
COMP 205. ETHICS, FAITH, AND THE CONSCIOUS MIND. This course focuses on three components of ethics, faith, and philosophy from a computer science perspective. First, it examines the Christian theological and philosophical foundations of science and the ethical role of computer science in areas such as globalization, autonomous systems, and intellectual property. Second, it considers perspectives on the origins, nature, and future of human cognition and consciousness, including intersections of artificial intelligence and consciousness. Third, it reviews ethical systems, cyberethical professional codes, ethical problem-solving techniques, and specific ethical cases, again from a computer science perspective and building on an informed Christian response to technology. This course, along with Computer Science 350, fulfills the Information Literacy (IL) requirement for Computer Science majors. Students may only receive credit for one of Computer Science 205 or Science, Faith, & Technology
