Course content

While knowledge can be a blessing, can it also be a curse? In the age of AI and digital media, we witness developments that will shape the way we think and work forever. Ut do these developments mean that human intelligence and labour will become unnecessary in the digital futures, or is there still space for human consciousness.

This new, ground breaking course on Ai and digital technologies asks all the right questions necessary to visualise a new world, where humans can thrive and where ethical thinking is just as relevant as it was before the emergence of techno-capitalism. We will cover intriguing and controversial topics, such as transhumanism, digital knowledge production, power and social alienation, while analysing memes and videos from social media platforms.

You will work in smaller groups, in an intimate and nurturing environment, and write your dissertation in partnership with creative industries, facilitating those crucial contacts and employability prospects. If you are looking for a career in the culture, media or creative industries, with an education that keeps giving, then there is no need to look further!
