Revision Plan

• The main idea is that artificial intelligence is risky to put all your trust in, concerning

your medical health. ( Tell the reader why the author feels this way)

• Analyzing an Argument helped me understand what to find in a text.( Use It)

• Overall, I think my passage is important

• Could probably add more

• All quotes are useful

• Easy to understand

• In depth explanation

• More content
From my research, I came across this article that needs further analysis. In the text, "A

Rhetoricians View: Rhetorical Analysis of Nontraditional Texts" the author speaks about the

content, purpose, and audience of a text. The text states " When you review the text for evidence,

you are clarifying your own initial thoughts, you are searching for the truth..."(374). Meaning

that the reader is looking for rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos to ensure the

validity of what's being stated. The article " Societal Issues Concerning the Application of

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine", speaks about the wrongdoings of Artificial intelligence and

how it can impact medicine for the worst. The author’s tone is solemn she is very serious about

the societal issues related to the use of AI. She states specific issues such as “fairness, privacy

and anonymity, explain ability and interpretability, but also some broader societal issues, such as

ethics and legislation”( University of Chicago Press, 2016). This gives the text reasoning on why

AI should not be used in the medical field. Data analysis in medicine has for long been the

territory of statisticians, but medical data are reaching beyond the merely quantitative to take

more complex forms, such as, for instance, textual information in Electronic Health Records

(EHR), images in many modalities, on their own or mixed with other types of signals, or graphs

describing biochemical pathways or biomarker interactions . The author shows pathos by saying

medical data is reaching beyond what it's capable of performing she cares about the patient’s

well-being. With artificial intelligence your privacy can be leaked, artificial intelligence is multi-

faceted and responds to the environmental pressures of human societies. Ethics is one of those

facets for which AI is still fairly unprepared she argues.

In the text, “ Analyzing an Argument “ the author speaks about the intended purpose of a text

argument. This text basically says to look out for the author’s purpose, why was this so

important? The author’s purpose in “Societal Issues Concerning the Application of Artificial
Intelligence in Medicine” is to inform readers about the uncertainty of artificial intelligence

when it comes down to our health. She constantly reminds the reader that many of these

difficulties should concern medical and healthcare practices and should be brought to the

attention of the public. The audience would be individuals who believe that artificial intelligence

could end Covid-19 or anyone who has Covid-19 and is thinking about a treatment option. This

is an informal piece of writing because she is speaking about why she feels that AI is a bad

choice when it comes down to our health. This document disagrees with my topic however, there

is also some middle ground that I can put into my research paper. This would be an example of

intertextuality which is the interrelationship between texts, especially works of literature; the

way that similar or related texts influence, reflect, or differ from each other.
