Goal: Reflect on how different professions use critical thinking.
Course Objectives: CO1, CO3, & CO4
Description:
Discussion question, Please go to Procon.org and find the topic “Artificial Intelligence” (https://www.procon.org/headlines/artificial-intelligence-ai-top-3-pros-and-cons/ )or “Is the Internet ‘making us stupid’?” https://www.procon.org/headlines/is-the-internet-making-us-stupid-top-3-pros-and-cons/
Pick one Pro OR one Con (except for the one used in the example below) and do the following: Using the material in Chapter 5, try to diagram the premises and conclusion(s) in Standard Form.
Then, discuss whether the argument contains any extraneous material of rhetoric that needs defusing, whether there are any fallacies such as generalizations, ambiguity, or vagueness, and whether the argument contains any flaws that can be criticized.
Finally, comment on the strength of the argument and if it is a good one, why it is so.
Give “documentation” your best shot – Citations and Reference in APA, MLA or the preferred style for your degree.
This example uses Pro 1 for “Artificial Intelligence” (ProCon.Org)
Part 1
P1). AI can make life easier and safer in areas concerning driving, streaming, and grocery shopping. P2). AI can eliminate the need for gym memberships and help us stay healthier at home.
P3). AI can vastly improve the practice of medicine.
C1). Therefore we should embrace all of the benefits of AI and live better lives
Part 2
The argument does not contain extraneous material but has implicit assumptions that the audience desires all of the actions. While it would be hard to argue against enhanced medical care, not everyone wants a smart speaker spying on our babies (yes, I am using biased language to convey a point). However, in terms of the complications mentioned in Chapter 5, the argument is clear and straightforward. Part 3
I believe this argument is inductive because even if the premises were true, the conclusion is not necessarily so. I would have to say it is moderately strong. While I can see the benefits of such enhancements, I do not know if convenience could trump things like personal security and privacy.
