What are Values? List your top values. 
Values are what's important to you.
1.Religion
2.Family
3.Education

In the values shuffle, were you tempted to go to a side you did not really agree with? Why could it be hard to stand up for your values (Use Peer pressure and hypocrasy) in you answer. Yes, I was tempted to go to a side that I did not agree too because I was scared of what people might think of me and don't want to talk to me.

What are morals? Do values and ethics always match? What are the consequences of immoral behavior (not religion).
Morals are code of conduct or balance between ethics and values. Ethics and values don't always match. The consequences is that you can go to jail, court, or dead.

AI Blog

I think the machines should be consider as household appliance because if they are going to be life we will have to make rules for them too and waist time .I believe humans should not be allowed to own them because they can cause problems and would be a form of slavery. Machines should not be consider as human because we got other things to worry like animals or to make the world a better place.

2)      Do you believe that AI is going to happen.  Explain why or why not.
 I think AI will happen of how I see technology improving over the years. Also if no one is going to stop AI then it will not be stoped. Soon AI will happen and some people will be angry and some will be happy, those who were sad would regret not stoping AI.
3)      Will AI be an overall good thing or bad thing?  What is the worst case and best case scenario as you see it?
If I were to pick one side I would decied that AI will be an overall bad thing. Their are many worst case scenario like they will take over, slavery ,or even terminate us.
4)      What was your felling about the movie Bicentennial Man?  Was it realistic?  Did it stimulate thought about the issues?  Is it a valuable use of class time?
 I thought the movie was very interesting of how people predict machines will be in the future. I really though it was real and looked like a real person too. I believe it was valuable class time to know how AI will might be in the future and also to know how people will treat them.
