Your job is to complete one of the following research questions:
(Please remember that you are to only answer one question)
1) We live in a world where the future can potentially
mean that we have to rethink how we work, rest and play.
Discuss how the development of autonomous robots will
change our lives positively and negatively.
2) “The web never forgets.” It is a statement thrown
around a lot. Explain how the cloud will impact this
statement positively and negatively
3) Is it right to allow the creation of future elites who have
augmented themselves with artificial intelligence and
genetic engineering, without inventing a way to manage
their superhuman abilities? Discuss the positives and
negatives of such a possibility.
4) Is it possible for us to create machine intelligence that
can make nuanced distinctions, such as between a gun
and an ice-cream cone pointed at it, or understand human
speech that is often heavily based on context?
