Program Overview

Program Details

The program in question appears to be a course titled "AI, film och tänkande" which translates to "AI, Film, and Thinking." This course explores critical and philosophical perspectives on AI, along with theories of thinking in and through film and audiovisual media.

Course Description

The course delves into several key questions:

• How can AI influence our understanding of what it means to be human?
• How do we comprehend concepts such as "intelligence," "thinking," and "consciousness" in the context of AI?
• In what ways do narratives in feature films and the PR of the tech industry shape our ideas about AI?
• What capabilities does current AI technology actually possess? Does it "think," and if so, in what respects?
• Can AI serve as a tool to develop and expand human thinking, rather than merely complementing, replacing, or hindering it?
• Can AI also be understood in the light of film theories as a means to develop human thinking? And with theories of film technique as a kind of "machine intelligence"?
