Have a look at the Instructions for the Research Project Steps One, Two, Three. So, which Path do you think you want to take? What branch of technology are your particularly fascinated/curious about? Bio/Molecular Genetic Engineering or AI or some combination of those two-like human enhancements? What areas are most likely to affect the field/major of your own careers? What do you think the possible consequences might be to your own field/major/career? What about the society at large? Are you mainly interested in the economic/social/ethical consequences of the changes that technology might bring? What do you think? What is your research question?

If you’re having trouble deciding you might check out the list of TED Talks on AI here.
