Political Philosophy in the AI Ethics Classroom
This paper defends two main claims. First, that political philosophy deserves a central place in AI Ethics¡¯ curricula. This is a claim about the content of the AI Ethics class. The second claim is about the form of the AI Ethics class: namely, that considerations originating in political philosophy must inform the way in which AI Ethics is taught. The basic idea animating both claims, is that AI has powerful political implications and that preparing students to navigate these implications, requires paying close attention to both the cognitive and practical learning goals of the AI Ethics course.
