2. Major points of contention: The most prevalent and important disagreement is where the source of potential dangers within A.I. is, and also the time frame in which worrying about these potential issues is warranted.
3. Possible points of agreement: As stated in point #1, everyone agrees that A.I. could help society in a multitude of ways. It is also generally agreed that there is the potential for danger. The degrees in which these two points are true is the deciding factor of the argument.
4. Ideological differences: The key differences ideologically is between those who are afraid of change for the possibility of its threat to humanity vs those who are progressive towards the issue as they see the possible benefits outweighing the risks.
5. Generally the texts either urge the audience to acknowledge the dangers of A.I. or to urge them to calm down about it and to let time tell.
6. I will give examples from multiple different opinions and backgrounds in order to provide perspective and who I think is generally in the right and who has the most merit in their argument. I want to provide a relatively thorough perspective in order to allow the reader to decide for themselves without hiding information.
7. I think that there is a degree of merit in every perspective on the topic due to the nature of the debate and it being an issue hard to quantify. Therefore most perspectives hold water and are a threat, but not any more than my own perspective.

I found that their different perspectives were generally far more polarized than mine, which is unsurprising given the nature of their issues, one being debates between political parties and the other legalization of marijuana. Both of these have sides that are more clear cut than my issue, but at the same time, I don't necessarily think that it affects my ability to write on the subject, as there is clear disagreement over it.
It's interesting that we both chose topics where the goal is progression of a technology and in both cases there is one major opposing reason standing in the way. For me it is privacy concerns and for you it is the possibility of undesired consequences of AI. In both cases it seems that the only solution id for those that oppose it to make a compromise.
ReplyDeleteI think your analysis of the key perspectives were really in-depth and will be helpful when you construct your own argument. I think this topic is interesting, and even though the two sides of the argument may seem a little less defined, but I don't think it should give you any trouble.
