Skills and learning outcomes
Description of contents: programme
The contents of this course are approached from three different perspectives: A first approach to the historical, political, economic, social, and legal context, making an initial reflection on the change or effect that these technologies are presenting in the framework of governance, geopolitics, the new global order and the reaction of democracies to the new challenges they pose. A second approach will be based on the attitudes that the different political and social actors involved (governments, political parties, social movements, citizens, markets) have towards these new technologies, their risks and the rhetoric employed. A final approach will address the challenges and new methodologies that, thanks to the existence of these new technologies, have appeared in the evolution and new applications of computational sciences in the data science market and in the study of the Social Sciences.
