Your '''analytical paper''' should be a 4-page analysis (12-pt font or smaller, 1 inch margins, single-spaced) of the ethical dimensions of one of the following topics:

* Robots as workers in factories, offices, stores, farms, and other job locations (not including transportation)
* Artificial intelligence software supplementing and/or replacing "knowledge workers" in fields including but not limited to journalism, teaching, banking, and the law
* Self-driving automobiles, from multiple perspectives such as impacts on labor, safety, and the environment

Your paper should draw primarily from the examples and arguments made in the [http://nameless.cis.udel.edu/class_data/849_f2016/TSMA_Chap2.pdf TSMA, Chapter 2] reading and/or the [http://nameless.cis.udel.edu/class_data/849_f2016/MLG_Chap2.pdf MLG Chapter 2] reading.  You may ''cite'' other sources which are not already class readings, but do not feel that you have to find a bunch of other examples.  If you use any outside sources, follow the IEEE citation style with a "References" section at the paper (which does not count for the number of pages ☹) 

In your paper you should ''briefly'' summarize the facts of any examples you provide, and discuss in ''detail'' the ethical-social issues raised, following the [http://nameless.cis.udel.edu/class_wiki/images/impactcs.pdf ImpactCS approach].  See especially Figure 1, where you identify relevant issues (the columns) and who the affected stakeholders are (the rows).  You may also refer to items in the ACM/IEEE codes and talk more generally about deontological vs. consequentialist perspectives.  

Please submit your paper to Sakai as a PDF by midnight on Tuesday, October 11.
