My portfolio news story is from the economist and is titled "Fighting it out." It relates to ITGS as it deals with the programming of computers to appear to be human, and the use of this program to actively fool humans into thinking their versing other humans.
The area of impact that this would fall into would be politics and the government as the success of this endeavour would allow various governments and enterprises to gather information on people without there knowledge.
Yes, it was published after I started this course. It was published on September 9th 2009.
This article definitly raises social and ethical issues. One of these would be the "risk" in giving computers the ability to behave like humans; ie. you could no longer tell who was human and who wasn't without seeing the actual computer.
