Write a 5-paragraph (or more) reaction essay to the content of the videos below. We will watch these videos in-class. The Future of Work: https://youtu.be/_iaKHeCKcq4 The Age of AI (First hour only): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dZ_lvDgevk&t=2s There are a lot of ideas contained in these videos, so select three or four concepts and 1) describe what the idea is, 2) offer your personal reaction – is this future change a good thing? A bad thing? Undecided yet? For your final paragraph(s), consider the forms of resistance that these futuristic trends might spark in people, especially if the changes threaten their livelihoods (how they make money). What is the USA Government’s role in facilitating or regulating these sorts of changes? The videos propose that many of these changes may start in China, where the common people have far less political power. In order to remain competitive with China, will the USA Government force these changes onto the American public? How might it do this? (examples: raising taxes on gasoline to discourage people from owning cars, to institute a “driverless future”. Or placing public cameras in public spaces with identification software, to discourage crime and identify perpetrators [this is already happening in some cities].) There are no “wrong answers” here, I want your personal take. The only “wrong answer” would be not to do the assignment, or to write a single paragraph.
