In this lesson, students will consider ethical dilemmas raised by the increasing use of AI in warfare. After listening to a podcast from the New York Times The Daily, about Ukraine’s use of emerging AI technologies in their war against Russia, students will develop their own positions about the ethics of AI warfare through discussion with peers.

This lesson explores the impact of biased data on AI systems with a focus on the Global South. Students will learn how biased data leads to biased results since AI reflects the data it is trained on. In particular, students will focus on the impact of this on countries that are generally less industrialized and have lower income levels than developed nations in the Global North.
