Hi, Brian:
ReplyDeleteYou are developing an understanding of breaking down a question to its essential parts and brainstorming synonyms and using boolean connectors. It gets easier the more you practice. I think for your question, I would suggest truncating ethics so you can capture ethical as well, "artificial intelligence" AND ethic* Also, you referred to it as AI, does that need to be included as a synonym? Remember to use quotes only around the phrases exactly as you want them, "great depression" is good but "current economic problems" probably isn't a commonly used phrase and it would be better to use econom* and limit your results to the last 5 years.
Cheers,
Andrea
