A university seminar, USEM 2570: Work in the Age of the Algorithm, will be taught by Claudia Scholz in the Spring 2024 semester.

Course description: This is a course about the future of work and how it will be impacted by data, algorithms, and automation. It is also a course about the work embedded in algorithms. What we call "AI" is built on human decisions, labeling, and interpretation. This reciprocal relationship between work and technology is the theme of the course. Students will explore their own experience with work and their career goals while learning about algorithms / automation.
