My Milestone #3 "Research Game Plan"
I'm writing my paper on the portrayal of Artificial intelligence through the eyes of Robots in the movie I- Robot will be a major source of my research and i'll need to find scholarly articles supporting this theory in an addition to a extra source and maybe an encyclopedia or newspaper article to complete the types of sources I need to have a sound research paper.
The Portrayal Of Robots in Film
for my research paper ill dissecting the growing concerns about the use of artificial intelligence and its exact use with these new super robots replacing humans in many jobs. using an article procured using Jstor entitled The Persistent Peril of the Artificial Slave written by Kevin La Grandeur discusses the use of artificial intelligence in different fields that were once occupied by humans such as in the military and its use to evolve weaponry. this is just one job that has been taken over by the use of Artificial intelligent robots, but it doesn't stop there we have simplistic jobs such as working a switch board in a call center have been taken over by automated computers not even here in the US but outsourced to other cheaper paid countries. this growing phenomena is discussed widely in his article. he states that the use of these "super robots" can actually be more detriment that good to us in the future;
" I see the problem with artificial slaves as not merely one of the violent rebellion that is the subject of so much fiction about advanced, self-conscious
AI; such rebellion is just a subset of the bigger problem, which is the impulse
(or willingness) not just to create servants that are more powerful than oneself,
but also to give them too much power, to allow them to be inappropriate proxies
for oneself." . this outright handing over of power to something we crated that could potentially render us helpless at their mercy is exactly what the movie I-robot tried to convey.
i liked his standpoint on AI because it ties into exactly how i feel about allowing technology to be more advanced than its creators.
Another article i found interesting but doesn't really go hand in hand with my ideal of what I-robot was trying to portray was an article i found using the Jstor database and its The Post-White Imaginary in Alex Proyas's "I, Robot" written by Sean Brayton and he actually equates the use of "white robots" going up against an African American Cop as a contrast alluding to a post racial city, where these robot antagonists actually represent a racial indifference where the robots have a superior role than those of the humans. i enjoyed his standpoint on this because it gives a tangible understanding of the movie and what it may represent in our everyday life said this robot evolution does take over, what we could potentially expect.
