  1. What happened to the three laws of robotics? Isn't there a rule against giving artificial intelligence arms and legs? Providing a learning intelligence with the means to injure or eliminate its slower and less intelligent creator is absurd to me. A learning machine could easily find a logical reason to erraticate the chaos that it sees in its makers. That would overcome any "prime directive" against harming a human. Part of the learning process is challenging the status quo. We all go through that in our teen years. What happens when all the AI (who are connected through the internet) go through this at the same time? Am I wrong to be concerned at the direction that AI is predicted to take? I also find the idea of implanted intelligence (computers in our brains) a good way to control the masses - even moreso than is done through the media today. Once the implant is installed who decides what "upgrades" it accepts? I don't see this as a problem that will occur in my life time but in my children's or grandchildren's lifetime it is more probable than simply possible. I like technology - it is easy to turn off! In the future who controls the switch?
  2. Hello all, I am Paul and just a very curious man of about 60 years of age. I hope to learn and grow through questions and answers. If I get too far off the target please explain kindly why and where. Paul
