RATIONALE FOR CHOOSING
THE TOPIC
The reason which inspired me to choose this topic is that AI has been
constantly in news because of its beneficial advancements and services
it is providing in society. However, in the same context it has been
criticized also for creating a threat to human survival. Thus, selection of
this topic will help to analyze and understand the reality of both of
these aspects effectively.

KEY SOURCES
In order to find following three key sources for the presentation I used various
search engines and searched different journals and articles with keywords like AI,
risks and benefits of AI. These sources will be used to critically analyze both sides
of AI without directly making any final conclusion in context of their usability.
