1st Paper: In this pre-workshop reading reflection, you will write a 600-800 word essay (approx. 2-3 pages double spaced). Your
response should substantially and thoughtfully engage with AT LEAST THREE readings – including at least one
from EACH of the disciplinary perspectives (Moral/Political Philosophy & Media Studies). Reflection papers
should not be summaries but, rather, are opportunities for you to critically reflect on readings from both disciplines, and
to use these readings to engage thoughtfully with the ethical themes related to the topic of technology, such as the
relationship between knowledge, power, and surveillance. You are encouraged to identify questions, connections to
other readings, and ideas triggered by the readings

2nd Paper: In this pre-workshop reading reflection, you will write a 600-800 word essay (approx. 2-3 pages double spaced) that
responds to the following lines of inquiry, in light of the readings:
1) What difference (if any) does it makes that any given observer of (or contributor to) the debate over the
ethical management of Artificial Intelligence possesses certain prior theological or philosophical commitments?
(i.e., does it matter that one’s starting point includes a theistic worldview, or perhaps a proclivity towards
embracing consequentialism or deontology, etc.?); and
2) How would you characterize the existing and the expected effect of a rapid acceleration of the use of Artificial
Intelligence in the workplace? Based on what you know (and what you read for today’s unit of our course), do
you expect an amplification of currently observed effects, or might we expect something qualitatively different
from what we have witnessed thus far?; and
3) What labor issues are emerging from the use of algorithmic management? In what ways are these distinct
from ethical issues that have arisen in the workplace previously?

3rd Paper: In this pre-workshop reading reflection, you will write a 600-800 word essay (approx. 2-3 pages double spaced). Your
response should substantially and thoughtfully engage with AT LEAST THREE readings – including at least one from EACH
of the disciplinary perspectives (Bioethics & Social Work). Reflection papers should not be summaries but,
rather, are opportunities for you to critically reflect on readings from both disciplines, and to use these readings to
engage thoughtfully with the ethical themes related to the topic of technology, such as the relationship between social
and structural justice, and the ways in which algorithmic tools can reify inequalities or ameliorate them. You are
encouraged to identify questions, connections to other readings, and ideas triggered by the readings.
