Artificial Intelligence Project Proposal - Week 2 Assignment

This assignment presents a student's project proposal focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), addressing the assignment brief's requirements. The student identifies AI, its applications, and its growing importance. The proposal outlines the student's choice of AI as the project topic, explaining its relevance and impact. The student addresses research questions, including defining the problem AI solves, potential harms, and new problems created. The methodology includes literature review from digital libraries using specific keywords. The student acknowledges challenges, such as time constraints, and the broad scope of AI. The assignment follows MLA style guidelines and includes a list of cited works. This project explores how AI can make complex decisions and accomplish human-like tasks using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Speech Recognition, and how machines can be trained to perform particular tasks by processing big data and recognizing trends and patterns in the data using business intelligence tools. The student will search for existing literature in digital libraries such as ScienceDirect, Sage or Emerald journals to answer the questions.

Part 1: Project Topic – Artificial Intelligence (AI)
What is it?
AI enables machines to learn from their interactions and experiences and adapt to their
new inputs to make complex decisions and accomplish human-likes tasks.
Why did you choose it?
Recently, AI has emerged as a hot discussion area and has been applied in various fields
across the globe. Most of the AI applications evident today – ranging from computers that can
play chess to autonomous cars highly depend on Natural Language Processing (NLP), Speech
Recognition (Miller 19)
At this point, what do you think the answers will be? Why?
Using the AI technologies mentioned above, machines can be trained and learn to
perform particular tasks by processing big data and recognizing trends and patterns in the data
using business intelligence tools.
What steps will you take to answer the questions?
To answer the questions, I will embark on searching existing literature in digital libraries
such as ScienceDirect, Sage or Emerald journals. I will use keywords such as AI, uses of AI, AI
applications and AI technologies. After rigorous scrutiny of the literature, I will pick a few of
them that best answers the questions in context.
What obstacles (if any) do you see in your way to answering the questions?
The major challenge would be allocating enough time to carry out the project. However,
this I can manage by researching during late night and early morning hours. Also, the scope of
AI is very wide, and it is challenging to define what to include and what to leave out (Anderson
and Rainie 3)
