Read: Do Machines Represent a Threat to Humans?

Question of the Day: Read the entire article, then write a paragraph for each bullet.

• Do machines represent a threat to humans? Or does the only real threat come from how humans decide to use machines? Why?
• Do you agree with Dr. Hawking that artificial intelligence may one day equip computers with the tools to outsmart humans? And that this possibility presents a grave danger to humankind?
• Or are you more concerned with the threat that computers present as competitors for jobs? Or with the threat that Ms. Tufekci describes, that machines more and more shift the balance of power away from workers and in favor of employers?
• Ms. Tufekci writes: “It’s easy to imagine an alternate future where advanced machine capabilities are used to empower more of us, rather than control most of us. There will potentially be more time, resources and freedom to share, but only if we change how we do things. We don’t need to reject or blame technology. This problem is not us versus the machines, but between us, as humans, and how we value one another.” Do you agree with her assessment? Is the problem not us versus machines, but rather how people value one another? Why?
