Analyzing Message in "Fear must not hold back new era of artificial intelligence"

For this post I will be answering questions from Student's Guide and I will be deciding which parts of their list on what to analyze work best for my specific article.

Out of all the bullet points listed, which two or three seem most relevant to the goals of your text's author? Why?

Out of all of them, I believe that expressing an idea is one of the most relevant because throughout the whole article, the author is reflecting the fact that he believes that everyone should support AI, even though there may be risks. Next, I think that the author is attempting to persuade an audience of something for the same reason. The entirety of the text is the author's attempt at changing the audience's perception of AI and its uses.

Which bullet points do NOT seem relevant to the goals of your text's author? Why not?

I think that the author was not attempting to analyze, synthesize or interpret this situation. It was simply persuasive, and he did not try to describe what the risks were or why people were afraid. While he did want to change the way the readers feel about AI, he was not necessarily advocating for change as people are already moving forward in the process of innovation for AI.

Are there nuances and layers to the message the author/speaker is trying to get across? If so, what are they? If not, why not?

There could possibly be layers to the way he is trying to get people to forget about the AI risks. He may not necessarily mean to completely forget about what could go wrong with artificial intelligence but instead doesn't want those fears to interfere with the progress coming from AI. Also, within his message he mentions that AI technology could improve others' lives. I believe that underneath this message the author is trying to get the point across that we shouldn't let fears of anything, including AI, get in the way of our attempts at helping other people.
