Chapter 6795 Implications of Smart Al Templates

Ves had a strong awareness that the choice of smart Al templates would have an enormous influence on his work and life trajectory in the next years and decades.

As much as most humans wanted to run their advanced civilization through manpower alone, this is plainly impossible.

Their society had grown too complex. The tool-using race had developed their latest tools far beyond what they were able to properly comprehend and control by themselves.

This was why nearly every piece of modern tech possessed certain degrees of automation. Humans alone could not fully control the sprawling technologies that they depended upon to live and fight. It was a rather sad state of affairs, but it was an inevitable outcome.

The best humans could do to control their increasingly more complicated tech was to formulate sound design principles and avoid the common pitfalls of relying too much on Als and algorithms to control their own tech.

It remained to be seen whether the Red Fleet was on the right track by developing smart Al templates.

There were clear risks related to turning Als into sentient beings that could think for themselves. Sigrund's performance in the first stage of his reawakening from long-term hibernation was a particularly acute example of the horrors that artificial intelligences could unleash.

Who could have known that when Saint Davia Stark traveled to New Constantinople and happily left with her newly upgraded Amaranto Mark III, she had come awfully close to the ultimate culprit of the Sand War?
