Should Artificial Intelligence be regulated?
Before you construct your argument, consider the rapid pace of technological development and
how this has or is defining us as humans. Also, think about the theme for our semester: hybrid
space- virtual/actual and what that means for creativity, literacy, and identity. Your essay is an
argument about any aspect of digital literacy covered during the semester.
You can focus on the following subtopics:
Justice and Equity (algorithms/profiling)
Privacy
Safety for humans/nonhumans
AI creativity/art
Gaming/Coding and Literacy
You should include evidence from the following texts read during the semester and additional
research if you feel it is necessary. You should use approximately 10-11 or more sources for
your essay:
