The power and capability of technology has grown significantly over the past five years. Further research has been done as these advanced technologies has been implemented into numerous things such as, autonomous driving cars, drones, and robots. These devices are taking over tasks that has been done by humans in the past. These devices soon may be smarter than humans in the future as an event called the singularity may occur. Singularity is the "hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have become so advanced that humanity undergoes a dramatic and irreversible change" (oxford). In Bailey Gallagher's 2016 peer reviewed article "The Singularity is Near: Implications for patent and Copyright Law in the Age …show more content…
Ethos-based proof was a great way to set up the parameters for the qualifiers of the claim and sub-claim of this article to make the argument stronger. This article makes reference to many supreme court cases such as, Cochrane v. Deener, Diamond v. Dieher, and Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Laboratories Inc. These are all big court cases that were presented to the supreme court about a process or patent is carried out. The ethos proof that Cochrane v. Deener court case discusses is the process in which a subject-matter is done a different way than something else and can be patentable. In the Diamond v. Dieher case, the ethos proof is that if one companies does something a certain way and the other company does something in the same way but changes one or two steps it is completely patentable. In Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Laboratories Inc. the court indicated that the company could receive patent protection if it uses codes to a new and useful end. These are all perfect example of ethos-based proofs that set up the qualifiers for main and sub …show more content…
I see that the majority of the support was given through logos and ethos-based proof. The author did exceptional job as she avoided main generalizations throughout the article and touched on the main points that would set up the parameters for the essay. Talk about rebuttal. Talk about warrant. The information that Gallagher delivered in her article was thought provoking and could raise similar questions on this topic. As the technology is growing stronger and being implemented into humans, whole brain emulation would be patentable under the U.S. patent
The second example of ethos is the producers Columbia pictures. They are an affiliate with Sony Pictures Entertainment and have been founded since 1924, so again they
In Jonathan Klemens’ essay “The Protestant Work Ethic Just Another Urban Legend,” Klemens goes in depth about the American work ethic. According to Klemens, the American work ethic is essential to Americans because it provides a strong economy, along with a strong society that keeps America going. The American work ethic is one that is represented through individuals who “provide both a service to society and personal satisfaction” (Klemens 122). Not only does Klemens argue that hard work and service are detrimental to society, but a strong commitment enhances one’s life’s devotion to work, along with one’s passion or “calling.” Furthermore, the work ethic is “firmly entrenched as a powerful and valued American social trait,” showing that hard work and dedication are core values ingrained within the lives of Americans.
Gladwell uses Ethos as well in Blink quite frequently. The way he uses ethos to confirm the credibility of the hypothesis and research he expresses. Through ethos we are persuaded to believe the research is true and that we can put trust in the
It is a non-fiction book based on predicting what the future holds for both humanity and technology summarised in 652 pages. The Singularity is, according to Kurzweil, The day “Humans transcend biology”. It is further understandable as the day when technology advances over biological evolution and is therefore not susceptible to evolutions limitations any more. In short, The Singularity is an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) that is not limited to a biological anatomy.
Communication is used by everyone, every day and many people, including politicians, businesses and protestors use communication to their advantage through three techniques; Ethos, Pathos and Logos. Ethos, Pathos and Logos are forms of communication and when used correctly help communicate any message across to an audience whether it be positive or negative. Ethos describes the credibility of the speaker and how certain things present people as credible. An example of ethos is doctors and stethoscopes and if someone were to walk up to us in a white coat and a stethoscope and say, “Do not eat carrots they actually worsen your eyesight, despite popular beliefs”.
Ethos refers to the author’s credibility and authority on the subject matter as perceived by the audience (Williams, 2012). Gladwell is a staff writer for The New Yorker as well as a bestselling author that doubles as a public speaker (Donadio, 2006); and his experience shows in his writing. Gladwell uses many learned and reliable sources to support his claims that each provide striking foolproof evidence . The author establishes a strong backbone to his argument by making sure he covers all the basics and never leaves anything to chance. Anything Gladwell does
Every year up to 2,68m patent applications are submitted worldwide [1] and the wealth of technology contained in patent documents cannot be rated high enough. Handling intellectual property necessarily involves the process of correctly describing the innovation in the body of the most important part of a patent document, - patent claims, the only part of a patent that defines the scope of inventor’s rights. Linguistically, the claim is the most difficult information carrier due to the restrictions that Patent law imposes on the claim structure. The claim is to be written as a single albeit very complex and long sentence, with a well-specified conceptual, syntactic and stylistic/rhetorical structure that is extremely difficult even for patent
Ethos is used through the reference to the Doctor because he is
Vernon Vinge introduces us to the idea of “The Singularity”, which is the point in which are old models must be discarded as a new reality reigns supreme, in part because a higher form on intelligence is created in which uses the most fundamental feature of human thought process (or at least according to Vernon Vinge) model building, as its most basic feature. The Singularity is different from the dissemination of other form of advanced technologies developed in our past because The Singularity stands alone as one technology or device that is simply more powerful than the human mind while the printing press, internet, and radio do not have any power without the use of humans. As Bill Joy explained in his piece “Why The Future Doesn’t Need
In the presentation when we use Ethos we are using a strategy called testimonials. Testimonials are when you get a famous person to endorse your product. This causes people who admire this famous person, to buy the product because they want to be just like him/her. In our case we talked about the praise Lebron James gave our shoes and showed pictures of him and Lionel Messi, wearing the shoes. In the presentation, when we use Pathos we are using a rhetorical strategy known as glittering generalities.
Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are terms coined by Aristotle and are referred to as the three artistic proofs. The use of Ethos is the art of convincing potential customers that the advertisement is credible. Pathos, on the other hand, is the art of convincing potential customers by appealing to their emotions. Last but not least, Logos is the art of convincing potential customers by the use of logic or reason. The two popular gum brands, 5 Gum and Orbit, are well known for their often funny and entertaining ads that capture viewers attention.
This is an example of ethos because they are trying to get us to believe the company, Surfrider, is telling the truth. Surfrider is a legitimate website that has true facts and supported throughout the webpage, making an ethos argument. Throughout the analysis multiply examples of rhetorical appeals. As you can see the Surfrider advertisement clearly is checking the reader 's attention through logically and emotionally appeal, and is cut short on the ethical appeal side.
Ethos means convincing by the author. We tend to believe people whom we respect and look up to as role models. Persuading someone with their role model to buy the product. It like a endorsement deal with celebrity. Nike uses the most ethos to draw the age groups together to sell the product by signing endorsement deals with athletes.
In a case between two multi-billion dollar companies, Google and Oracle, abuse of the legislature was evident. A large dispute aroused in the United States courts after Oracle accused Google of unlawfully using its Java programming language in Google’s widely known Android mobile operating system. Oracle argued that Google should pay 8.8 Billion Dollars for unlawfully using Oracle patents.7 The United States appeals court ruled in Google’s favor by describing Google’s use of Oracle’s patents as “fair-use”.8 It is evident from these incidents that no one is immune from patent infringement and plagiarism cases; however, there is a definite potential for the legal tools available to combat plagiarism to be unlawfully used to “patent troll” other companies in the professional
— Bill Gates Bottom Line Artificial intelligence was once a sci-fi movie plot but it is now happening in real life. Humans will need to find a way to adapt to these breakthrough technologies just as we have done in the past with other technological advancement. The workforce will be affected in ways difficult to imagine as for the first time in our history a machine will be able to think and in many cases much more precisely than
