Pluses, Minuses, Interesting/Implications (PMI) Chart Instructions
Instructions:
1. Use the Pluses, Minuses and Interesting/Implications (PMI) Chart to evaluate the issue
“Unlimited and Advanced Artificial Intelligence Must Be Developed by Humans.”
2. In the Pluses column, enter all the positive elements, in the Minuses column enter all
the negative elements, and in the third column, enter the elements that cannot be
classified precisely as positive or negative (Interesting) or potential outcomes
(Implications).
3. Assign a numerical value to each on a scale of 1 to 5 (1+lowest, 5=highest). In the
Pluses column, scores will be marked with a “+” sign and scores in the Minus column
with a “-“ sign.
4. Then, review the items in the I column to see if any item should be marked as a positive or negative
value using the same scale. An item seems to not have a potential effect on the
decision, it must be marked as having zero value.
5. Total the items in each column, then add together the three (3) subtotals. A negative total indicates that
the idea should be abandoned. A positive total indicates that the decision is a good one.
