- Emerging technologies are changing how humans live and work and have the potential to alter the very nature of human existence. Challenges considered by courses in the program include emerging technologies and public policy, ethical responsibilities of professionals engaged in development of emerging technologies, promise and perils of emerging technologies, and whether traditional ethical concepts and processes can and should be applied to emerging technologies.
