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

I'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…

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