Assignment
Read the assigned articles in D2L. Answer the questions below. The answers must demonstrate that you have substantively engaged with the material and you haven't simply goggled the question and copy/pasted the answer.
1. Automation of a wide variety of behaviors continues to proliferate. Name a cognitive task that has become automated in your lifetime. Do you use the automated platforms for this task? Are there conditions under which you would change your behavior (either use the automation if you do not, or not use the automation if you currently do)?
2. Humans and computers have different strengths and weaknesses. Consider a cybersecurity context in which it is important to prevent individuals who work for a large defense contractor from exfiltrating proprietary information. Name some of the security tasks associated with this scenario and propose a division of labor across computers and humans. Provide a rationale for your division.
3. What cybersecurity function might become automated in the future? Describe the division of labor between humans and computers. What functions would you assign to the human and why? Could those ever be automated? Why or why not?
