In a world of suspicious facts, baseless opinions, and clashing cultures, what is truth? How do we know truth? What is the truth about artificial intelligence?

Drawing on bits of history and emphasizing students' perspectives, this four-session seminar will confront such questions and consider whether a post-truth universe already exists.
