Referencing Rubric
Providing evidence based on valid and referenced academic sources
is a fundamental educational principle and the cornerstone of high-
quality academic work. Hence, The IIE considers it essential to
develop the referencing skills of our students in our commitment to
achieve high academic standards. Part of achieving these high
standards is referencing in a way that is consistent, technically correct
and congruent. This is not plagiarism, which is handled differently.
Poor quality formatting in your referencing will result in a penalty of
according to the following guidelines a maximum of ten percent being
deducted from the overall percentage. Please note, however, that
evidence of plagiarism in the form of copied or uncited work (not
referenced), absent reference lists, or exceptionally poor
referencing, may result in action being taken in accordance with The
IIE’s Intellectual Integrity Policy (0023).
Required:
Technically correct referencing style
Consistency
• The same referencing format has
been used for all in-text references
and in the bibliography/reference list.
Technical correctness
• Referencing format is technically
correct throughout the submission.
• The correct referencing format for the
discipline has been used, i.e., either
APA, OR Harvard OR Law
• Position of the reference: a reference
is directly associated with every
concept or idea.
• For example, quotation marks, page
numbers, years, etc. are applied
correctly, sources in the
bibliography/reference list are
correctly presented.
Congruence between in-text
referencing and bibliography/
reference list
• All sources are accurately reflected
and are all accurately included in the
bibliography/ reference list.
In summary: the recording of references
is accurate and complete.

Assignment Instructions
This assignment contains three questions which cover learning units 1 to 5 and will require you to
work both individually and in a group for different questions. Groups must consist of two members.

• Question 1 – Individual
• Question 2: Group
• Question 3: Group

A summary of the tasks you need to complete are:

1. Write an individual essay on the possible ethical implications of AI technology

2. Work as a Team to:

a. Plan a prototype.
b. Create wireframes/infographics.
c. Write a short report.
d. Video presentation.

Submission Instructions:

You will need to submit a single document that follows the structure detailed below:

• A cover page that includes your full names and student number and the rubric
• Question 1 which includes:

o Your essay
o Your code of conduct (you can base your code of conduct on any of the codes supplied
in your MM)

• Question 2 which includes:

o Screenshots of your Azure boards/Infographics

o Link to your Azure board/Infographic
o The report on licensing and copy right

• Question 3 the YouTube link to your presentation video.

Question 1 (Marks: 35)

The video available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq36J9pNaEo shows a conversation with
a well-known artificial intelligent (AI) humanoid named Sophia. The conversation touches on the fact
that AI does not have human emotions. In the interview, Sophia indicates that she does have
emotions because the values of her creators have been integrated into her being.

Recently in the news an AI robot was playing chess against a seven-year-old boy. The seven-year-old
was too quick at responding to the AI robot’s chess move so it grabbed and broke his finger. This is
most certainly an example of AI displaying a lack of judgement, ethics, and emotions.
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/25/chess-robot-breaks-young-boys-finger-during-match-in-
moscow.html

Using the above information and video, you are required to:

1. Write an essay in which you discuss the ethical implications of creators passing their values
onto AI and humanoid robots. You can argue either for or against the inclusion of human
values in AI (±800 words). (20)
2. Include in the report any of the codes of conduct that you have been exposed to in your MM
and write a short (no more than 500 words) code of conduct for the inclusion of human values
in AI. You may use the following code of conduct as a guideline: (15)
https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics
3. Submit the essay of ethical implications and your code of conduct into one report.

You will need to do additional research to answer this question. Make sure that you use good
sources and scholarly articles. It is also INCREDIBLY important that you adequately reference your
sources.
