Sharing my topic and describing two research sources.

The research topic I have chosen is "Portraying Robots in film". In this paper i will review and analyze the film I, Robot. The focus of this paper is to emphasize the idea of Robots and artificial intelligence carrying out tasks for humans and possible doing an even better job at these tasks. Thus creating a society that is completely dependent on artificial intelligence as portray in most Hollywood movies like I, Robot. Most people believe that world is far from a full on robot revolution this reality may be closer than we think. There are many scholarly and non-scholarly articles that support this idea. In this blog post I will present two articles that support this idea. 

I found my first article on the online subscription data case "Lexis Nexis". The article I will preset is "Artificial intelligence could kill us because we're stupid, not because its evil says experts" by Andrew Griffin. This newspaper article emphasis that we do not hold the intelligence capacity to create intelligence forms of "life". Human emotion is a very specific trait that is unique to us. Although the robots of the future will not be able to comprehend emotion. There intellectual capacity will be far greater then ours. Thus teaching us the way of life. Benjamin H Bratton states "The real philosophical lessons of A.I. will have less to do with humans teaching machines how to think than with machines teaching humans a fuller and truer range of what thinking can be (and for that matter, what being human can be)." (p.1).

Another article that I will use in my research paper an article I found on the data base Academic search complete. "Machines without principals: liability rules and artificial intelligence" by David C. Vladeck. In this article Vladeck introduces the idea of morals and principals when it comes to robots. He also relates many of tis findings to films. Vladeck states "But the law is not necessarily equipped to address the legal issues that will start to arise when the inevitable occurs and these machines cause injury, but when there is no “principal” directing the actions of the machine. (p. 150). I look forward to using these articles for my research paper.
