Description

Artificial Intelligence and social robots are increasingly becoming part of our daily life, giving rise to some important questions: Will AI systems become more empathic or smarter than we are, and use that increased intelligence to rule us? And if they acquire these abilities, will we come to prefer them to human partners?

In this course we will gain knowledge and share reflections on the difference between engaging with another human versus a robotic partner; and how social robots have changed the way we live, think, interact and work (now and in the future). Standard and contrasting accounts of human social cognition will be presented, along with mainstream literature on research into human-robot interactions. Finally, the course will focus on ethical, relational and epistemological issues emerging when considering such types of interaction, discussing and providing answer(s) to the question: why (and in which contexts) humans need social robots as interactional partners.

International student?

Make your application in the First Admission Round at universityadmissions.se.

Application period October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
