									For everyone in class on Wednesday, it is due at the end of the period.

Read the attached excerpt from chapter 1 of Janelle Shane's "You Look Like a Thing and I Love You".  (Start with the paragraph right above the section SOMETIMES ITS RULES ARE BAD)

In a Google Doc...

1. Generally reflect on what you've read. What new things did you learn? What new questions did it inspire in you? Write at least 4 statements. 2 of the statements should start with "I noticed..." and 2 more statements should start with "I wonder..."

2. Think about the AI focusing on the rolling green hills when learning how to identify sheep. What's something else that an AI might learn to recognize incorrectly from an image? What mistake do you anticipate it making?

3. Search the internet for real instances of AIs going wrong. Pick one that you find interesting.
a. Describe the situation, and then think about the Four Signs of AI Doom you read about from the excerpt of chapter 1.
b. Which warning sign(s) do you think, in hindsight, applied to the problem? Why? Cite specific sentences from the reading to support why the warning sign(s) apply. Example: I believe that <insert problem here> falls under the warning sign "The problem is Too Hard" because <problem> involves understanding humor. According to the reading, "It's nearly impossible for AI to understand the nuances of jokes or tone or cultural references."


If you have some extra time, feel free to browse some of Janelle Shane's blog about AI misadventures:
