This assignment examines the question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) poses a threat or offers aid to the future of humanity. It begins with an introduction explaining the topic's significance and outlining the structure of the analysis, including the selection of key sources. The assignment then presents three key sources, evaluating each using the CRAAP test (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose). A thesis statement is provided, followed by an exploration of main arguments both supporting and opposing the idea that AI is a threat. The arguments include perspectives from figures like Elon Musk, James Barrat, and Stephen Hawking. The assignment includes a writing plan, discusses challenges faced during source evaluation, and offers solutions to those challenges. The conclusion summarizes the findings, emphasizing the benefits and drawbacks of AI for humanity and highlighting the effectiveness of the CRAAP test for source evaluation. References are also provided.
