OVERVIEW This capstone project requires you to summarize, synthesize, and build

OVERVIEW
This capstone project requires you to summarize, synthesize, and build upon course work in your undergraduate major area, resulting in a substantial research project. The entire course is designed as a step-by-step process in the formulation of a two-part capstone project consisting of an academic research paper and oral presentation. By completing this project, you will demonstrate your achievement of the learning outcomes associated with the Bachelor of Arts degree.
Topic is the long-term effects of machine learning and AI systems in the US economy. Include how those effects have and may alter society as we know it. The two sides to explore are those that are against the use of AI and those that are in agreement with the use of AI. I also want to touch on the reasons either side would have for their viewpoint. Make sure to mention the social and economic short and long term effects.
GENERAL PLAN
Each module outlined in the course is designed to help you develop the sections of your capstone project.
Module 1 requires you to identify a main topic. The academic research paper must be on a topic you have chosen to explore within your major area of study. In this module, you will identify and introduce the topic, providing reasons for this selection and its relevance to your life. You will also draft a problem statement, preliminary thesis statement, or opening hypothesis to research within the context of your topic.
Module 2 requires you to create an outline of your planned approach to help you think through how you will pursue your capstone project. This outline will not be included in the final capstone project. However, a second part to this assignment includes a narrative section surveying your research strategies, which will be included in the final compilation of your capstone project.
Module 3 is a review of the literature, strategically placed here in the course to allow you more time to do the necessary research. Your literature review is expected to cite at least 10 strong academic sources. However, you are expected to have at least 15 sources referenced in your final deliverable. The literature review seeks to contextualize your topic in the relevant literature and demonstrate the breadth of your own knowledge.
Module 4 is the last section of your final written project, comprising your discussions and conclusions. This is where you will analyze and interpret the arguments you have found in the literature and evaluate the significant theories and concepts related to your topic. This is the culmination of your research and requires you to show what you have learned and how your own informed critical analysis sheds light on the topic you have been studying.
Module 5 focuses on the oral presentation in which you will create, upload, and post an 8- to 10-minute video to share with classmates through a discussion forum. You will also submit this oral presentation for a grade by the end of the course. All requirements for this oral presentation portion of the capstone project are outlined below.
Module 6 is the conclusion of the course. You will compile and submit your final written academic research paper in standard academic format. All requirements for this written portion of the capstone project are outlined below.
