How it works

01

Read a real paper

Each topic is anchored to a focal academic paper and a counter-reading that challenges it. Open-access papers are readable inline.

02

Engage with the discussion

Write your analysis, build on others' arguments, and react to ideas. Contributions are tagged by stance so you can see the landscape of thought.

03

Pass the quiz

A short comprehension quiz checks you engaged with the material. Unlimited attempts — it's not a test, it's a gate.

04

Ask the AI (Pro)

Claude, grounded exclusively in the topic's papers, helps you sharpen your arguments and explore implications — never lectures, always Socratic.

Built for engineers, scientists, and builders

Technology ethics is taught as a humanities course. Hard Problem treats it as a domain problem — rigorous, source-grounded, and collaborative. No lectures. No vague frameworks. Just the hard questions.
