 What is arguing in philosophy?

                                                                                           
We already know what an argument is in real life. You speak one after the other with the opponent forcing him to believe your point or to get something done. These utterances sometimes could be merely contradiction and doesn't serve any purpose.

  But in philosophy argument is much more useful. It's a tool for discussions. The chart below explains briefly what an argument is and the ways we can classify them.

• An argument consist of at least two propositions, one giving a reason(Premise) to accept or believe the other     proposition(conclusion). 
• It is also important to write an argument in standard form, when analysing the logic of the argument. This is done by arranging premises in an order by numbering and finally giving the conclusion. 
• How do you find the conclusion of a given argument that is not in the standard form?You can find it using the indicator word. As the words imply, indicator word indicates the conclusion. In the given argument one "therefore " is the indicator word that indicates the conclusion. 

Scientific Arguments

• Scientific arguments are built using ideas(Hypothesis), observations and expectations(Reasoning).

• Science progress from continues inductive reasoning. That is conclusions derived from hypotheses and experiments are not hundred percent accurate.
• During an experiment, using large number of data will improve the accuracy of the conclusion derived from the experiment.
• Evidences can be used to improve strength of a scientific argument as well . Example: Every action has an equal opposite reaction. When a ball hits a wall it bounces back in the opposite direction. This is an observational evidence to the existence of paired forces.(Action,reaction)

Is there any probability that AI might rule over humans in future? You can agree or disagree by giving reasons for your conclusion. Remember this is also an argument!
