Watch Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey outside of class. (It is on reserve at the LaGuardia library.) Compare it with Ted Chiang’s “Catching Crumbs From the Table.” How do the texts differently illustrate the potential communication gaps between humans and artificial intelligences? Which text presents a more frightening or dystopian vision of this relationship? A further constraint: you must also use a quote from the Hannah Arendt article for your analysis. (You will be graded on the appropriateness of the quote you use.)
