Irreducibly Human: Ethical Play — graduate course syllabus
Graduate course syllabus for engineers and technical practitioners at Northeastern University who work with systems that encode values and have never been asked to make someone else feel morally implicated by something they built. Students design, build, and audit a web-based game whose ethical framework is identifiable from the mechanics alone — culminating in a gap analysis naming what an AI Ethical Auditor cannot find because finding it requires a player.
