The Challenges Of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

To start off, I wasn’t very enthusiastic about the topic our group chose, artificial intelligence (AI). Instead, I planned to research the Zika virus. When that idea was voted out, I had to accept the fact that our topic was AI, which initially was a difficult challenge for me. Before researching this topic, I never really knew what AI was. I’ve heard of it in movies, but didn’t realize that it was a widely researched phenomenon that influences everyday life. To gain an insight, I researched this topic using EBSCOhost, a credible and reliable database. Most of the information present was about how AI influences the progression of science. I decided that researching this topic from a scientific lense would capture my interest the most and allow …show more content…

For example, Alexis and I had a common link between her claim about job sectors that use AI, and my part about surgeons acting as an example of a job sector taken over by AI, which go hand in hand, and then highlighted this similarity using the same color. This made it easier to lay out the paragraphs, and organize our thoughts. As we created this web, we decided to take out the ethical lense, because most of the points made in that paper were talked about in Ethan’s paper, which was from the historical lense, resulting in the need for only one person to mention that. This further changed the way our team paper and presentation was set up. When we weren’t close to meeting the word count for the team paper, Ethan wrote about the rights of AI, which gave the paper an overall historical and political theme. Then, I assigned jobs accordingly and divided up the tasks. I was in charge of the introduction and my lense, Ethan did his historical and political lense and conclusion, Alexis added information about economy, and Drake did the citations. As I learned more about how AI influences other perspectives, my view began to change. I always assumed that technology was harmful to society, but I realized that AI has had many benefits pertaining to society, and has led to new job sectors opening up while enhancing jobs that are already performed, such as surgeries. Therefore,
