by murphy’s law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. throughout history, there have been multiple technological disasters due to errors in overlooking safety precautions, errors in manufacturing, or when a piece of the machinery simply gives out. the most advanced model of some sort of technology could be highly praised for its innovation, yet at some point, something is bound to go wrong. in the ted talk, by sam harris, harris addresses the issues concerning ai and how they are something to be feared. i agree with the all too science fiction dilemmas ais bring into society, and he brings up many interesting points.

artificial intelligence encompasses such wonder and hope for a smarter future. yet so ironically, it should be something people fear. there are too many people who praise the great unknown capacity artificial intelligence has. people have been growingly dependent on technology and do not realize how easily it can control us. ai most definitely has the possibility to "annihilate… without a qualm" the way harris explains humans destroy ants once the ants get in their way (harris). many people, however, feel that we are still doing the research and our world is far from that. however, harris also discusses how assessing the amount of time it would take us to actually create such advanced ai is futile for "when we continue to improve our machines, we will produce superintelligence" (harris). more concerning, once we have this superintelligence, how can society be reassured that it is safe and that us as a human race will not be controlled by it. furthermore, there are many issues we need to address in our society that cannot be fixed by an ai. i feel that by human nature, humans can become too obsessed with trying to reach such heights they believe ai represent, and instead, we need to look introspectively on how we can improve society independent of superintelligence.

Question 1 what is amperage? is the rate of doing work. is the rate of flow of protons in electric current. represents the amount of pressure behind electron flow. is the rate of flow of electrons in electric current. 2 points question 2 what is voltage? is the rate of doing power. represents the amount of pressure behind electron flow. is the rate of doing work. is the rate of flow of electrons in electric current. 2 points question 3 what is power? is the rate of flow of protons in electric current. is the rate of flow of electrons in electric current. is the rate of doing work. represents the amount of pressure behind electron flow. 2 points question 4 if we multiply volts times amps we get what? power circuit work current 2 points question 5 what are two ways alternating currents are similiar? in both ac and dc electrons flow in the same pattern. in both ac and dc, the flow of electrons changes directions back and forth. both ac and dc are only possible in certain materials with atoms that will allow electron flow. both ac and dc involve the flow of electrons. 4 points question 6 how does the flow of electrons flow in an alternating current? the flow of electrons is always slower in an alternating current than within a direct current. the flow of electrons is not constant and forward; it changes direction back and forth. electrons flow from from a higher affinity to that of a lower affinity. electron flow is constant and only in a forward direction. 2 points question 7 what is the flow like in a direct current? the flow of electrons is not constant and forward; it changes direction back and forth. the flow of electrons is constant and only in a forward direction. the flow of electrons go from a higher affinity to a lower affinity. the flow of electrons are always faster in a direct current. 2 points question 8 how is an electric current able to flow? electrons flow from the higher affinity to lower affinity and electrical current is generated. protons flow from the higher affinity to lower affinity and electrical current is generated. the movement of protons from one atom to another leads to an electric charge. the movement of electrons from one atom to another atom in a line results in a flow of electric current. 2 points question 9 how do electrons move from the two different types of metal in a battery? protons flow from the metal with the lower affinity to the metal with higher affinity and electrical current is generated. electrons flow from the metal with the lower affinity to the metal with higher affinity and electrical current is generated. electrons flow from the metal with the higher affinity to the metal with lower affinity and electrical current is generated. protons flow from the metal with the higher affinity to the metal with lower affinity and electrical current is generated.
