Texas A&M To Offer Courses On Responsible A.I.

Texas A&M University has joined a new nationwide program that aims to boost college-level curricula about responsible artificial intelligence. The university was selected as a participant in February through an application process headed by the College of Liberal Arts, the Glasscock Center for Humanities Research and the Department of Philosophy. Maria Escobar-Lemmon, associate dean for research and graduate education in the College of Liberal Arts, highlighted two objectives of the program. The first is to bring different points of view into the topic of artificial intelligence. "This program is being offered by the National Humanities Center, and it's an alliance between the National Humanities Center and Google that is intended to broaden the range of voices to include humanistic scholars so that we have people with different backgrounds, training and disciplinary perspectives engaging on the issue," Escobar-Lemmon said.
