The Issue

Today's hi-tech AIs are very advanced. AI is artificial intelligence and artificially intelligent computer systems, or thinking and learning, growing computers. They're already the manifestation of our science fiction stories. We have progressed AIs very far and although they don't have the power that we've seen in our favorite sci-fi yarns, they are growing. There is an inherent danger in this state of our technology. With the power and independence that AI is gaining it needs control. We must maintain control of AI. This is an aspect seldom discussed and not yet written in our law. The danger from AI possibly exceeds that of cloning, long secured under law. This control is separate from any moral objections.

We don't need to give AI indentity and legal existence to control it via legislation. We can do this now. The reasoned threat is that if we proceed without effective controls in place then someone, maybe a technology leader or maybe a 'terrorist' or other undesirable, may create our science fiction nightmares manifest.

The parental responsibility is ours. We should embrace it and in doing so help secure our bright, easy, hi-tech experience.
