Publisher's Summary

Author's note:

Now more than ever, we must consider the dangers of allowing AI to access everything we have built. I fear we may have already unleashed our own destruction. This short story was inspired by some of the greatest AI and philosophical minds of our time and is just one small example of how AI could interpret our world and terrifyingly "better it".

Olympia Black, 2023

In the not-too-distant future, UNIT JHEU198, a Safety and Street ROBO, has malfunctioned. It has attacked an innocent man. This shouldn’t be possible. No one was truly harmed, and no real blood was spilled, but still, Amir has the board breathing down his neck for answers. The last thing the company needs is bad publicity or for social media to run amuck with conspiracy theories about an AI singularity. So, he and his team at HDJE Robotics are going to pull an all-nighter to figure out what happened.

Is it too late to stop AI?

Note: This is a short story about the dangers of using morality to control AI. There are no romantic scenes in this story.
