Good Morning Classi This Week Discussion I Choose Con3 Of The Artifi

Good morning, class. This week, I am discussing the potential issues related to Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically focusing on privacy violations and misuse. The main argument consists of several premises that point to the negative impacts of AI on individual privacy, security, and societal well-being. Premise 1 asserts that facial recognition technology invades personal privacy through warrantless surveillance. Premise 2 notes that privacy experts are concerned that partnerships between companies like Ring and AI firms could diminish consumer trust regarding their privacy. Premise 3 highlights how companies such as Target utilize AI to personalize advertising and offer targeted coupons, raising concerns about consumer profiling. Premise 4 states that criminals exploit AI to commit fraud and identity theft across various countries. The conclusion derived from these premises suggests that AI is intruding into people's lives by violating privacy rights, enabling warrantless searches without citizen consent, aiding targeted marketing, and serving as a tool for cybercriminals.

In the second part of the discussion, I analyze the argument structure, noting that some elements are extraneous. Many examples serve to alert the reader to the potential dangers of AI, emphasizing concerns over privacy intrusion and criminal exploitation. For instance, the statement “AI also follows you on your weekly errands” underscores the risks of pervasive surveillance, aiming to heighten awareness of AI’s intrusive capabilities. The incorporation of real-life examples strengthens the argument by illustrating actual instances of privacy breaches and fraudulent activities. These illustrations aim to support the overall thesis that AI poses significant risks to individual rights and societal security.

Regarding the validity of the argument, I believe it is sound. The premises logically support the conclusion, and the evidence presented aligns with real-world issues associated with AI usage. The argument is inductive in nature, as it draws general conclusions based on observed examples and current trends. The truth of the premises—such as documented cases of warrantless surveillance, targeted advertising, and AI-facilitated crimes—makes the conclusion credible and credible. The use of relevant, real-life examples further reinforces the strength of the argument, demonstrating tangible threats posed by AI in contemporary society. Overall, the argument effectively highlights the need to scrutinize AI’s development and implementation to safeguard individual privacy and societal security.
