Research Journal, Part 7: Finding Articles in Periodical Indexes

Research Journal, Part 7: Finding Articles in Periodical Indexes

question research with ProQuest data base:
What ethics are involved in using artificial intelligence?

 My first search was conducted by using my original keywords Artificial intelligence and ethics which gave me 4530 results. My second was by using AI instead. keywords AI and ethics gave me15,116 results.
 using my instructors suggested keywords and tips: Artificial intelligence and ethic* gave me  6,800 results.

I found three articles which look good for research on the subject.
scholarly journal: Vickery, Bob. "Social Implications of Artificial Intelligence." Search 28.10 (1997): 316-. ProQuest Research Library. Web. 25 July 2012.


newspaper article: 
REVIEWED BY, HOWARD,RHEINGOLD. "The Confused State of Artificial Intelligence." 
San Francisco Chronicle (pre-1997 Fulltext): 8. Western Newsstand. Nov 23 1986. Web. 25 July 2012 .

 magazine article:
Caton, Hiram. "The Future of Humanity." Issues 2009: 4-7. ProQuest Research Library. Web. 25 July 2012 .
 Although this whole article is not just about artificial intelligence I chose it because the end of the article raises some other questions that I had not thought of for the topic. The article describes IBM's deep blue self thinking computer and its abilities. The article also gives another suggested piece of reading material in an essay for further research.

  1. Hi, Brian:

    The information you have so far looks good. I don't see a summary explaining your experience, how you found using the databases, tips you'll be sure and use the next time you search, etc. What clues did you use to identify your scholarly article as research and not a feature or report? IRIS mentions several characteristics of research articles that are helpful to consider.

    Thanks for your efforts,
    Andrea
