Group Progress: Week of March 31



This past weekend, we focused on writing the research proposal. We now have a more defined purpose and idea for our research paper, which is to warn AI developers and users of the potential dangers of intelligent robots, specifically in the social and economic aspects. We feel that we should focus on the following questions, which appear on our research proposal: 

1.  How are robots overtaking manual labor jobs in specific ways?
2.  Is the rate of robot development drastically increasing in comparison to human birth rate?
3.  How close are humans on the brink to becoming overpowered by artificial intelligence?
4.  If artificially intelligent robots do become smart enough to be independent and rebellious, how would humans regain superiority?
5.  In what specific ways will humans be affected by artificial intelligence now and in the future?

We found more examples of artificial intelligence to discuss, such as bionic humans, a chess champion robot, and DARPA robotics. We are having some trouble finding actual scientific journal articles that pertain to our questions, but we will be looking more closely at what keywords we utilize and to perform more refined searches. We hope to complete a rough draft by April 13 at the latest.
