The Future is Here: Ethical What Ifs of Artificial Intelligence (AI): 

A.I. is here and evolving quickly. We will explore how we interact and use technology at present and examine the future in how tech is moving towards generative A.I. and evolving towards Artificial General Intelligence. We will examine morality tied to the use of A.I. to solve complex human social problems, while maintaining individual rights. How will we address the impact A.I. will have on the families we serve? How will A.I. help us professionally be more adept in our work? How will we serve populations whose reality is based on relationships with machines - - are those relationships real or artificial? Lastly, we will explore the crisis of geopolitical conflicts, income inequality, climate and mental health challenges, and the role of hope in our future interventions. Let’s explore the ‘what if’s’ together.

Learning Objectives:
1.    Demonstrate a knowledge of the varying forms of Artificial Intelligence impact on the human population.
2.    Examine and define the impact of A.I. on differing human populations and the role of the helping professions.
3.    Develop an ethical framework related to various A.I. technology and consider the moral and ethical implications on human and social problems.
4.    Explore worldwide crisis and understand the necessity of hope as an effective strategy in placing boundaries around the use of A.I. in everyday life.
