These tensions are as apparent in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as they are in today's world of Artificial Intelligence, and films such as "Her" and "Ex Machina". This class will explore the scientific roots behind these pop-culture phenomena. How do memory and personality form? What makes us fully intelligent and conscious beings? What makes us, us? And, as we move into a world of Artificial Intelligence, how do these questions shape our interactions and our futures.
