IDS2935 Siri is My Superpower Quiz Unit 2

Techniques involve interacting with

tools or artifacts

Tool

specific object employed to alter/interact with others

Artifact

material objects modified for a specific purpose

Artifacts are more

broad

Artifacts are made

with intentional agency

Naturefact

material objects from nature used for a purpose

when altered, naturefacts

become artifacts

Embodied Artifacts

transparent extensions of the human motor system

Embodied Artifact Example

Painter with a paintbrush

Perceptual Artifact

used to help us perceive or quantify the world

Perceptual Artifact Example

Glasses, MRI

Affective Artifacts

made to induce feelings/emotions/moods

Affective Artifacts Example

Paintings, collections, musical instruments

Cognitive Artifacts

functionally contribute to performing a cognitive task

Cognitive Artifact Example

Calculator, Map

Earliest writing system

6000 years ago in Sumeria

Algorithm

a sequence of steps that transform the input into the output

All _____ are ______

AIs, Algorithms

All ______ are NOT _________

Algorithms, AI

AI is defined by

behaving where a human were to be called intelligent

GOFAI

Physical symbol system hypothesis

Thinking is

more than rule-based symbol manipulation

symbol manipulation began with

Aristotle, Descartes, Hobbes

Threshold logic device

artificial neuron

Hebb's Rule

neurons that fire together wire together

Synaptic Plasticity

the ability of a synapse to change over time through use or disuse

Perceptron

artificial neurons connected where each has an activation value and weighted connection

if total activation > threshold T

neuron fires

Connectionism

Parallel distributed processing, ANN

Artificial Neural Network

AI system that attempts to mimic the neurons and synapses in the human brain.

Rosenblatt overstated the

Perceptron, ANN

Rosenblatt claimed

brains on an assembly line, conscious of their existence

Narrow AI

aimed at specific tasks

Narrow AI Examples

playing chess, driving car, diagnosis

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Sci-Fi, broadly intelligent and sentient

Does AGI exist?

No

Weak AI

simulate cognitive processes, better understanding of working mind

Strong AI

actual conscious mind rather than simulating thought

CMC

Computer Mediated Communcation

Web 1.0

Ecommerce, dedicated infrastructure, located on desktop

Web 2.0

Social networks, cloud driven, mobility

Web 3.0

AI services, decentralized data

Issues with CMC

digital/access disparities, insecurity, deception, cyberattacks

Media Richness Theory

richness constrains what and how people communicate

Media Richness Continuum

Rich Face2Face vs Weak email, memos

Language-medium fit

choosing appropriate medium for verbal cues

Communcation efficiency-medium fit

most efficient medium

Communication function-medium fit

fit to different communication functions

Verbal Communication

ambiguities require discussion

Visual Symbolization

Pictorial Display in graphs can make a point

Numeric Language

Formulas

Lean Medium is efficient for

simple requestions, information exchange, non-controversial topics

Rich Medium is efficient for

Difficult/controversial topics, emotions

Communication Function-medium fit

how does the lean/richness impact the ability to communicate

Media Naturalness Theory

communication is constrained by body and mind

Evolution theory

face 2 face is preferred because it is natural

Expression and Perception

convey meaning through vocals, speech, facial and physical cues

Speech

hesitation, pitch

Collocation

facilitates mutual understannding, see/hear each other

Synchronicity

turn taking, interruptions, nonverbal cues

Asynchronous

delay in sending/receiving, email

synchronous

instantaneous sending receiving, live chat

Does zoom count as collocation?

no

SIP

Social Information Processing theory

Social Information Processing Theory (SIP)

electronically mediated relationships grow only to the extent that people gain information about each other and use that information to form impressions

SIP of information

slowly get to know another

CMC is _____ than F2F

slower

Hyperpersonal Perspective

Online relationships can exceed in person relationships

Mediated communication

tech used to deliver messages between sources

Digital communication

electronic networks to transmit digital data

ARPANET

defense-related computer network that was the precursor to the internet

Web 1.0 was

fetching/reading info, chat rooms

Web 2.0 was

streaming, P2P, social networking sites

MKO

more knowledgeable other

Mediated action includes a triangle of

Subject, mediating artifact, and object

zone of proximal development

above your current skills unless you have assistance from an MKO

Cultural Historical Activity Theory

introduces mediating activities without changing an environment

Affordance

potential to serve as a tool to perform certain actions
