Synopsis

A break-in at a government contracting facility. Theft of a software package that provides advanced learning and, by extension, increased capability to robotic systems without human intervention.The theft started as a protest by a college group to stop artificial intelligent (AI) development until we knew more about what the technology would become. They steal a software program that can strategize, collaborate and learn from other artificially intelligent machines. They see the risk as they realize that what humans design will inherently exhibit human traits.As nations race to steal each others AI designs, few consider the possibility that those designs may be becoming intelligent enough to be planning something themselves.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – The ability for a machine to control an activity and learn as it does so without human intervention.A benefit for mankind or so we are told. But as with all technology, the influence of human biases can turn that benefit into a nightmare. The machine that can learn about tasks and sequences looks to be a boon to mankind but can it learn morals and compassion? And what if the programmer decides to get personal benefit and power from their design?
