So it will behoove you to ‘branch out’ a bit. Think about how innovations in AI could change how we interact with each other, how we are represented in media/social media, how we make sense of news or identify fake news, how we learn or browse the Internet, how governments engage in unconventional warfare, etc.  

On your discussion day: For your abstract, summarize your articles. Make sure to use full citations for your 3 chosen  sources. Be prepared to look at the upside and dark side of AI (and anything in between). No longer than a page needed–briefly summarize and tell what you got out of the assigned material. And include the sources you’ve used (hint: Ctrl A; Ctrl C; Ctrl V).

I will provide you with the questions the night before (there will be a link to them on this page), if you’re interested, but you will respond to the answers in your groups in class–one set of responses for each group.

You can also email the abstract to me as an attachment.
