Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in the first-year Writing and Rhetoric classes, Integrated Learning Environments, and Thinking Matters programs. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style. In this essay, Lucas Sato compares the history and risks of nuclear technology to the present-day dialogue about Artificial Intelligence, arguing that it is necessary to learn from the nuclear events of the past in order to prevent a second catastrophe caused by AI.
