Yay for an ethics component! Albeit, I have a strong feeling it'll be treated as a (for lack of a better term) BS class since the audience this caters to isn't necessarily those interested in academia but are more likely to do this track b/c it'll be more beneficial for jobs.
I had an ethics class for my Bachelors in Science at UIC (part of the engineering department). Is an Ethics class not standard for the CS curriculum?

It's got quite a bit of university debt, so it's just working on the whole intelligence explosion thing on weekends and evenings (when it's not driving for Uber)

#34The normal computer science curriculum at Carnegie Mellon is already more difficult than real-world AI applications.

#35I'm a bit concerned that this will be too superficial and not really cover ML or the mathematical foundations well. ML and 'AI' are very multifaceted fields that require a strong foundation in mathematics. As such, the lack of information theory, signal processing, fourier analysis, abstract algebra (from a mathematical standpoint) not to mention CS courses is disheartening. This seems like a major tailored to the st…

#37Pretty cool. It’s funny. Several times in my life I’ve seen the resumes of older people (70/80s) and they’ll have some generic degree that doesn’t exist today. I wonder if 50 years from now kids will look at our CS degrees like that.
Why I left the nano engineering program super fast. Come to find out, nobody hires for that. You can go into research only. While a traditional engineering degree can do research or thousands of jobs.

#38I read that as "BS in AI curriculum" -- boy, did this not turn out to be what I had expected.
