F20CEC24- Part 1

Hi, everyone.

Welcome Thio less than 24 now.

Part one.

We're talking about the different articles.

I kind of went over the main ideas of the

first three articles, and I was just saying basic information

about the the three quote unquote new.

The new, amusing quote unquote quotation marks the new articles

that will be on the exam.

Of course, you've had time to go over them, so

they're not exactly new, but I want to keep them

kind of new in that way.

So I'm not going to go over the main points

in these with you.

I want you to do that.

Be able to do that yourself.

Um, but again, the first article on the left there

about Katherine Johnson was definitely related to, uh, the hidden

figures story that we went over in the first half.

And the two articles on the right side especially, I

think the last story there about the tracing South Korea's,

um, latest virus outbreak story.

Clearly, this one is very similar in, you know, related

to the the privacy the coronavirus privacy article we began

semester with, but also this other story in the middle

here. Why Asians and mass should not be the face

of the coronavirus.

This is is also related to that.

So, again, the skills that we went over for each

of these different areas, I think you could you could.

That's a logical place for you.

To begin with is to try to apply those same

skills to these.

But again, we've.

But again, we've been building skills all semester, you know,

adding and adding and adding, So you should use the

entire tool tool kit, so to speak, when you're looking

at all of these articles as well.

Okay. All right.

Um, now what?

We're going to do its focus on your questions, okay.

Especially again, just for the first three articles here wth

e last three.

I'm not going to be talking about in these videos

because i e I don't have your questions yet.

I haven't seen them.

Um, but but for the first three articles, um, I

want to I went through and grabbed your questions that

you put in your discussion board.

You know, the questions for each article for article 56

and seven.

Um, on dhe the questions that I that I got

from you let me back up here.

The questions that I got from you I put on

you know, I copied them for each of the articles.

And, you know, under each group, I put your questions

there. I grabbed and copied and pasted them.

Um, those questions.

Sometimes you guys did what I requested you to dio

where you I said, please, you know, have your discussions

about the articles, But then put your put your questions

actually separated for me to grab and to be able

to throw here, Um, some of you, some of the

groups, most of the groups did that, but some groups

did not do that.

And if that's the case, then I in some cases

I had to actually go through your discussion and try

to look for your questions.

And that was ah, little bit kind again, I didn't

really want to do that.

I was hoping that you would ask me, because here's

the thing is when you're if I go through your

discussions and grab the questions that you have, um, in

many in many of your discussions, you've already solved the

answer. You already feel comfortable with answering those questions.

So they're not really questions to you any longer.

So that's why one of the main reasons why I

don't want to be going over and finding, you know,

you're in your discussion where the questions are.

I wanted you to tell me which questions remained after

your discussions.

Okay? So if you did that, I I did go

through and still try to grab them.

But sometimes I I couldn't go through those and so

you wouldn't be able to ask any questions.

You're going to see that sometimes there are no questions

here because the groups just left.

No, you know, did not put any questions or discussion

up, and sometimes you might have put discussion up, But

you didn't really point to me any questions that you

had, so I I can't go over them.

Okay, so that's kind of your loss if you didn't

follow the directions that you know, the suggestion that I

made about clearly telling me your questions.

Okay, um, you can see that I've highlighted in yellow

all in different parts of the questions for me to

focus on right now, the yellow parts are questions that

I that I do want to talk about that I

can talk about related to the text.

Ah, lot of your questions that are not in highlight

are questions that are good questions.

But they're not questions that I could actually answer for

you and help you to know because they're not directly

found in the text there.

There's nothing in the text that helps me to answer

those questions in any better than you could.

Okay, so I'm not going to go over the parts

where I didn't highlight and also a second reason with

highlighting. If I highlight something, then if I get to,

you know, like if Group B has a question and

I highlight it and then I get to another group

later, like Group H has the same question.

I didn't highlight it then because I again I'm not

going to discuss the same question twice.

If if Group be asked for that question, then I'll

just skip it in in future groups.

Okay, so that's why I'm only talking about the yellow

parts here.

A ZX there highlighted.

Okay, so let's get started here.

Let's look at the first one for Article five.

Um, again, Article five was the Should we be worried

about artificial intelligence article.

Ah, nde.

Um the first question that Groupe had here was talking

about the theme the phrase called for called for and

and I like the the Group A.

You included the the entire text there.

That makes it easy for me and for the group

for the class to see.

But the physicist called for new regulation to ensure humanity

could prevent a I from threatening its existence.

So called for what is called for me.

If you call for something in this context, call for

simply means that you're asking for it.

You you believe that it is important and you want

to know you want You want this to be done.

So in this case, in this sentence, the physicist called

for called for new regulation, then that new rate those

regulations are what the or what they think is necessary.

Okay, so if you call for something, it means you

think it's necessary to have that.

Okay, uh, the second question there with paragraph eight.

The word pressing.

What does pressing mean?

Uh, again there are two.

As you say here there are two meetings, but if

you look at paragraph eight, it says.

Um, some scholars argue it is the most pressing existential

risk humanity might ever face.

So the most pressing in then, when, in this expression,

the most pressing risk, it's the most pressing risk.

Then that means that the word risk is really, you

know, pretty serious.

And so the pressing pressing means that it's it's kind

of a serious, urgent matter.

If you look at your question here group, you say,

Which of the two meanings have we used?

It's both, actually, because if something is urgent, then it's

hard to ignore.

You can't let it go.

So you see how pressing just means that there is

ah kind of pressure.

There's a kind of influence to to that it's going

to It's going to do something.

If it's pressing, it means we have to do it.

We have to get on it.

There's a kind of pressure to do it because it's

again in this case, it's dangerous.

It's a risk.

Okay. Ah, Question three.

There is our demise.

Yeah, What does what a I this question is saying,

What would a I look like if it demise from

the sentence occurred?

So what does demise mean?

If you say our demise, demise means death an hour

means every human not just me or you or Koreans,

but every single person on the planet.

So when you say our demise, when they say technology

could lead to our demise, it means the entire humanity

the entire human race could die, be dead.

So gnome or humans that's very serious.

Three author also also uses a very similar expression, saying

humanity, you know, the end humanity or be a threat

to humanity.

Humanity means our it means all humans.

So if it's a threat to humanity, it means just

like this.

It's a threat to our all of us.

It's a death threat.

It means that something will not continue.

Okay, group be here.

Uh, tourist's view on a I The uncanny valley both

of those two.

That's what I gathered from groupies.

Uh, discussion, uh, tourist's view on a I is confusing

here. If you look at tourist's view, um, let's see

work. Where is tourist's view?

I've got toe got to find.

See if that makes me have to kind of look

around for it.

I think, uh, Torres begins in paragraph eight again with

the pressing their right.

Torres, according to Torres, is the one who was talking

about the pressing.

You know that the word pressing so you can see

that Torrez here is presenting both sides, he says.

Some scholars think it's very pressing.

Others kind of dismiss it and say It's not really

pressing its do Mang Goring.

So what is what is tourist's view on A I

This is a very good question.

I think you could argue either.

Either way here, because Torres doesn't clearly take aside tourists

is just pointing out that this is, ah, something serious

that we have to think about.

So really tourist's view, I think the author uses tourist's

view in this Onley to point out what the seriousness

of this topic is.

So I think the title and tourist's view are kind

of the same thing.

Saying that a I could make or break you know,

a I robots could make or break mankind's future.

Well, paragraph a tourist's view is kind of restating that,

so it's kind of restating the point of the title.

Okay, the second one there is the uncanny Valley and

uncanny valley in this story was was talking about the

idea that if something for a i a eyes goal

robots this we're talking about robots, specifically robots air trying

to look and act mawr like humans.

Okay, so the programming and the design, the A I

technology is being directed at creating a robot, A I

that looks like and acts like, ah, human.

And so as they get closer and closer and closer

to looking like a human, uh, do you?

There's something strange that happens where you the robot looks

like a robot and everybody says, Oh, that's a robot

That's a robot That's robot.

Eventually, though, it get it starts to get so close

to being a human, but it's not.

It's clearly not.

You can.

Still, people can still recognize that there's something nonhuman about

this robot.

So in other words, you're able to say, Oh, that's

a robot.

Clearly, that's a robot, but oh, that's so.

It's kind of scary because it makes you realize that

this robot is could almost fool you, but it can't.

So the word uncanny means that you, um, that it's

uncomfortable. It's not.

It makes you feel, and it acts in a way

that is very, you know, bothers you and Valley.

The word valley means that, you know, here's here's the

goal that the robots will be like humans and the

technology is increasing, increasing like a mountain.

It's, you know, it's going up a graph.

It's getting closer and better and more realistic, more realistic.

But then it takes a dip down and that dip

down just before it becomes, you know, exactly like humans.

Just before that, that dip is the Valley because it's

not making progress being toward being more human.

It actually, at that point becomes less human like and

it becomes mawr, you know, troublesome or bothersome for for

people who are watching it.

Okay, so that's why it's it's called a Valley and

why it's called uncanny.

Okay, Group C.

What does inspiring future with a I in paragraph 25

mean? What about that in paragraph 25?

Inspiring future?

Yeah, this is Max Tech, Mark who's being, he says.

I'm being optimistic.

I'm optimistic about this.

We can create this inspiring future so clearly this is

a positive.

This would be the make in the make or break

scenario in the title.

The title says a I could make or break.

Well, in this case, it's making a inspiring means.

Ah, very hopeful and useful.

Uh, you know, purpose in the future.

Okay, um, second question there.

What is something foolish?

Something very foolish.

So we don't do something very foolish.

I think that wasn't in paragraph one.

I think that was Elon Musk who was talking about

that. And I think that that's when Elon Musk was

saying we don't want to do something very foolish.

That's in paragraph 19.

I see something very foolish means something that again, this

would be the negative side of a I the break.

You know, if we do something, we create some problem.

We create a I in a way that actually hurts

us. It.

It maybe even ends all humans.

Then that would be very foolish.

You know, that foolish is to do something that hurts

you, right?

And in this way, it could be something that really

hurts you so much that it kills every human on

the planet.
