 Discussion: There have been many books and opinion pieces written about the impact of AI on jobs and ideas for societal responses to address the issues. Two ideas were mentioned in the chapter – UBI and SIS. What are the pros and cons of these ideas? How would these be implemented?

Exercise: 

1. Identify applications other than those discussed in this chapter where Pepper is being used for commercial and personal purposes. 

2. Go through specifications of MAARS at https://www. qinetiq-na.com/wp-content/uploads/brochure_ maars.pdf. What are the functions of MAARS? 

3. Conduct online research to find at least one new robotics application in agriculture. Prepare a brief summary of your research: the problem addressed, technology summary results achieved if any, and lessons learned. 

4. Conduct online research to find at least one new robotics application in healthcare. Prepare a brief summary of your research: the problem addressed, technology summary, results achieved if any, and lessons learned. 

5. Conduct online research to find at least one new robotics application in customer service. Prepare a brief summary of your research: the problem addressed, technology summary, results achieved if any, and lessons learned. 

6. Conduct online research to find at least one new robotics application in an industry of your choice. Prepare a brief summary of your research: the problem addressed, technology summary, results achieved if any, and lessons learned. 

7. Conduct research to identify the most recent developments in self-driving cars. 

Questions:
1. Based upon the current state of the art of robotics applications, which industries are most likely to embrace robotics? Why? 

2. Watch the following two videos: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=GHc63Xgc0-8 and https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggN8wCWSIx4 for a different view on the impact of AI on future jobs. What are your takeaways from these videos? What is the more likely scenario in your view? How can you prepare for the day when humans indeed may not need to apply for many jobs? 

Find a peer-reviewed article pertaining to blockchain and finance that is not one of the required readings for this course. Write a critical review of the article that is at least 3 pages long (content). Be sure to provide in-text citations when you paraphrase or directly quote from the article. Also include a reference page with an APA style citation of the article. Follow the writing requirements for this course when preparing the paper. Use the following format for the paper:

1.  Introduction, including the purpose of your paper and a preview of your paper. Be sure to also provide the article’s title and author(s)’ name(s) in the introduction of your paper.

2. Discuss the purpose and problem the article is addressing.

3. Elaborate on the content of the article.

4. Discuss the findings and conclusion(s) drawn by the article’s author.

5. Discuss the author’s point of view and assumptions. Indicate whether unsubstantiated assumptions were made and whether there is bias that exists in the article.

6. Discuss the significance of the article. Why it is important? On what do you base your assertions?

7. Conclude your paper. Summarize the important aspects of the review.

8. References

[11:09 PM, 9/18/2020] RK: Your paper should include 8 centered and bolded headings that correspond to each of the required sections (Introduction, Article’s Purpose and Problem, Content, Article’s Findings and Conclusions, Point of View and Assumptions, Significance, Conclusion, References).

Writing Requirements for all Written Work:

References must be cited within your paper in APA format. Your reference page and in-text citations must match 100%. Papers without in-text citations will earn failing grades.

Always include a cover page and reference page with all submissions (even initial discussion posts)

Provide the exact web link on the reference page citations for all online sources – do not provide just the home page, but the exact link – I check all sources

No abbreviations, no contractions – write formally

Write in the third person formal voice (no first or second person pronouns)

Write more than the minimum requirement of the word count assigned

As always, the word count is only for the body of the paper – the cover page, reference page, and / or Appendix (if included) do not count towards the word count for the paper

Indent the first line of each new paragraph five spaces

Refer to the example APA paper in the getting started folder under the content tab if you need an example. Also, a Power Point is provided under the information tab that addresses APA format.

Use double-spacing / zero point line spacing, a running header, page numbers, and left justify the margins.

 Select from the following list four (4) topics and discuss. Use only 70-words max per topic to discuss and present your answer. 

The discussion questions this week are from Chapter 11 (Jamsa, 2013).

Chapter 11 topics:

• Define software architecture.
• Define and describe SOA.
• Compare and contrast a web page and a web service.
• Search the Web for companies that offer web services and then describe three to five web services that programmers might integrate into the applications they create.
• Discuss what it means for a web service to be interoperable.

NOTE: You are required to use at least two-peer reviewed sources (besides your textbook) to answer the above questions.   

   

Centralia Security Lab has been hired by Haverbrook Investment Group to perform penetration testing on its systems. As a pen tester, you have been assigned to write the plan for what Centralia will do in the testing.

Your proposal should include the “rules of engagement” (agreement outlining the framework for the penetration testing) and outline how you would go through the five phases of hacking.

  

• How will      you identify Haverbrook Investment Group’s network characteristics,      expectations, constraints, critical systems, and other relevant      information?
• What are      your preliminary engagement activities with regard to scheduling, scope,      and key stakeholders?
• What will      you use to establish a binding agreement between Centralia Security Lab      and Haverbrook Investment Group?
• How will      you determine the services, targets, expectations, and other logistics      that will be covered during the Rules of Engagement section?
• How will      you explain to Haverbrook that the tools and techniques to be used in the      penetration test will not corrupt data, violate privacy, and are in      compliance with industry standards and any applicable laws and      regulations?

Format below

 For your first AT-Robot programming assignment, I’d like to focus on: ● ensuring you can get a working AT-Robot simulation up and running from the AT-Robot/DOSBox bundle on our class website ● follow the video lectures about the architecture, instructions, assembly style, ports and constants To that end, rather than authoring a program from scratch, I have provided a file, “prog3.at2” for you. It does not contain a working program; instead, it contains a ton of comments telling you what code to write at each line. The idea is that I wrote a program, then commented every detail, then erased my code so you can reconstruct the code yourself, line by line. For every comment you see that starts with a single semicolon (‘;’), figure out a single instruction that could be put in front of the comment to do exactly that. These comments begin either at the left edge of the file or are a single tab from the left. This indicates whether the line of code you write should be to the left or exactly one tab from the left. Remember that in our assembly programs we NEVER use multiple tabs for indentation. Lines that begin with three semicolons, should be left alone. The three semicolons don’t mean anything special, they’re just something I came up with to let you know not to mess with them so they end up in the final program. Additionally, as commented, at the   top of the file is a #msg directive for the assembler. whatever is written there will be printed out in your robot’s status area during matches. please modify this to your first initial followed by last name with no spaces. I’ve also posted an encrypted version of a working bot (“amos.atl”) so you can see how it should behave when working correctly. A short description might be that it wiggles forward until it hits something and sweeps backward while shooting to avoid getting stuck on walls. Upload only your .at2 file. 

Apply the knowledge obtained in this chapter and prepare a research paper in  MLA style named:  History of cryptocurrency.

• with at  least 4 pages long.
• document should have an overview of how the Internet has evolved from its beginnings in the 60’s until today.
• make sure the document complies with all MLA style standards.
• when done upload the document.

This week we focus on the various maturity stages and variables in the middle manager best practices are.  Refer to chapter 12 from this week’s reading and note the various stages, what they are and why they are important.
