Computer Science and Philosophy - MComp

University of Oxford

Artificial intelligence (AI), logic, robotics, virtual reality: fascinating areas where computer science and philosophy meet. The two disciplines share a broad focus on the representation of information and rational inference, embracing common interests in algorithms, cognition, intelligence, language, models, proof and verification. Computer scientists need to be able to reflect critically and philosophically as they push forward into novel domains, while philosophers need to understand a world increasingly shaped by technology in which a whole new range of enquiry has opened up, from the philosophy of AI to the ethics of privacy and intellectual property.
