For this assignment, your essay’s topic will be generated from “Chapter 12: Artificial Intelligence” in Writing and Reading across the Curriculum and respond to the following writing prompt:
Dominic Basulto writes that “complex ethical and philosophical questions [lie] at the heart of AI.” In an explanatory synthesis that draws on three print, not video, sources in Chapter 12, explain some of these ethical and philosophical questions and discuss their complexity. To help you limit your focus and craft a meaningful thesis, your synthesis should build on an account of how AI systems “learn” and the ways in which recent developments in AI are forcing us to reexamine the boundaries between human and machine intelligence.
This question is broad enough to help you discover and create a meaningful thesis: Remember, the more interested in the topic you are, the more interesting your writing will be. A minimum of three sources from “Chapter 12” is required for this essay: Absolutely no outside research is permitted for this assignment.

All your sources will come from the textbook and, a Works Cited page (MLA) or Reference page (APA) will be required. Refer to the sample Works Cited or Reference page posted to Moodle’s Week 2 block under “Resources”: Follow these examples exactly.
