Course 10A is requisite to 10B, which is requisite to 10CW or 10WX. Limited to first-year students. Data-based computation (i.e., algorithms, artificial intelligence, predictive modeling) increasingly play a dominant role in shaping everyday experiences of culture and society. Data and data analytics define everything from social relations and public policy to juridical status and market logistics. Introduction to politics, ethics, applications, history, critiques, and social impact of data. Introduction to how data intersects with philosophical inquiries about justice, (in)equality, power, and freedom. Students obtain deeper historical and critical view of data in society, while gaining understanding of differing and diverse cultural frames of analysis.
