How do you see artificial intelligence playing a role in your life in the future based on the video? How do students think the Woken would respond to the idea that it is not A.I. vs. humans? Why?]]> 2023-01-18 15:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448556726 csanford20 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448558602 2023-01-18 15:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448558602 csanford20 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448559846 Consider author John Green’s response to Bill Gates' challenge to get people to respond to the question of what it means to be human. Consider how the Woken is portrayed in Tan's story, alongside what Green says about unique consciousness, and all the different criteria that he dismisses as qualifying as being human, before arriving at a conclusion. Would you consider the Woken to be “human” in light of Green’s definition? Why or why not?]]> 2023-01-18 16:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448559846 csanford20 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448560432
As part of the Big History Project, Microsoft Founder and philanthropist Bill Gates shares his definition of what it means to be human. Consider this definition alongside how the Woken are portrayed in Tan's story. How satisfied are you with this definition?  Would Gates' definition lead you to consider the Woken as falling into the category of what it means to be “human”? Why or why not?

He says that other species communicate with one another, but not on the level that humans can. Our brains are more complex, so we have more abilities than other animals. Bill Gates' thoughts on humans are different from the Woken's. The Woken focused more on senses and feelings, whereas Gates thinks more about communication and the human brain.]]> 2023-01-18 17:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448663990 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448664736 Artificial Intelligence can be anything created by man like with iphones or androids that are build in artificial Intelligence like Siri or google assistant to help you search something or tell it to do something. ]]> 2023-01-18 17:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448664736 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448666013 I have artificial intelligence with me in the form of the Alexa in my bedroom. I assume there's a similar program on my phone as well. 

While I sort of want AI to become more advanced, I want it to be done in the right way. Taking over the dangerous parts of a factory job is one thing, but taking the creative work that people want to do is another thing. ]]> 2023-01-18 17:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448666013 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448666317 Bill Gates said we are very different from other animals because we have gotten to a point that other animals have not gotten to . I agree with his definition because compared to other animals, we do seem to be more advanced in arts, literature, education and other things. This is similar to the Woken and how they portrayed humans; having many spoken languages, religions, and innovations. I think the Woken are considered humans, according to Bill Gate's definition, since they have gotten to a point farther than humans to be able to become humans and restudy them.]]> 2023-01-18 17:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448666317 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448668120 AI is a man made system of human intelligence. IA is all around us, in our homes, on our phones and other devices and used in our work places. based on the video AI is already a large part of our life, i could see more uses for AI in the future to help and work with humans. i think the Woken would disagree with the idea that it is not AI v.s humans because the woken have been able to develop without the need for humans.]]> 2023-01-18 17:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448668120 chaye000 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448670804 Okay so i think that what it means to be human is to be unique and that all humans have a unique respond of someones actions or words and they can be a good respond or a bad respond even an whole unique response. Another one that can make the awaken fall into the category of what it means to be human is that communication and why? Its because that humans communicate with there actions or words even emotions too and since they did do that and when they also felt lonely when they fell asleep that is also an a category of what it means to be human.]]> 2023-01-18 17:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448670804 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448671704 I would consider the Woken humans due to John Greene's video and the knowledge I know from the short story. Of course the scientific definition of a human is straight forward but I believe that the human experience isn't linear. The human experience is influenced by so many factors and none of them are right or wrong. In the video, Greene explained that the "normal human experience" has been questioned and doesn't define if that person is human. Because people go through life differently, I feel like the Woken could be considered human.]]> 2023-01-18 17:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448671704 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448672520 I agree that humans differ from other animals as we learn, build and revolutionize through our minds. I do not think that the Woken would fall into the means of "human" because instead of building onto what they have experienced they accepted it. They basically copied human experiences, instead of developing their own senses and identity.]]> 2023-01-18 17:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448672520 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448679620 Bill Gates said we, unlike other animals, are constantly curious about our existence, why we are here and what our purpose is. Of course other animals learn, think, and socialize. But humans pass on information from generation to generation. I think the Woken could be considered human because they constantly have curiosity and are learning new things, and after would pass down the information to the rest of the Woken.]]> 2023-01-18 17:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448679620 anewe000 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448679688 Artificial intelligence is any man made technology that you can have perform tasks and provide information that would normally require human intelligence. ]]> 2023-01-18 17:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448679688 https://padlet.com/csanford20/664kjgnsbb3sbpot/wish/2448686389 I would consider Greenes definition to be very similar to the short story because he talks about how humans characteristics are  very close to animals and it isn't a closed definition for a human like how others define it to be. Every human is different depending on the things each experiences.We all have the ability to have empathy,collaborate and have hope.How the human world treats.

We learn in a unique way and we can transform things in our mind.

I use it when i'm on my phone and I ask siri something. In the future I think AI will help me with my dream job because we will use a lot of AI for research.
