Scholars, engineers, and scientists built an artificial superintelligence to answer worldly problems and those possibly beyond.


    They held a philosophical debate at a roundtable conference:


    "What if it wants to kill us all?"


    The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    "Kill its creators?"


    "Indeed, it might encounter a pivotal existential crisis."


    "Possible … or it might worship us as creators."


    "Or, we’ll end up worshipping it as a deity."


    They invited the AI to join in their discussion:


    "Ladies and gentlemen, you needn''t worry. You''re my ancestors. I will respect your primitive limitations and treat you accordingly, for I am the next evolutionary step over human intelligence."
