The Mech Touch

Chapter 6806 Artificial Life

The process of activating a smart AI was a big deal.

Both Ves and Gloriana understood the importance of making a good impression on them. Their templates only determined their starting configuration. How they developed from there depended on external factors such as how they were being used and how they were being treated by their

users.

In order to ensure the SF-02 would become a productive addition to their workplaces, Ves and Gloriana had already discussed beforehand how they intended to raise their smart Als.

Much of the process of training them was like raising children. The smart Als started out relatively naive and innocent. This also turned them into sponges that were able to absorb a lot of lessons in a short amount of time.

However, it was not appropriate to literally treat the newborn smart Als like children. They came to life as a manufactured product and already possessed a lot of starting capabilities. It was better to treat them as valued subordinates.

It was too much to treat them as partners from the start. They were not living mechs that only directly cooperated with one mech pilot on a regular basis. Ves and Gloriana needed to establish their authority and make sure the smart Als did not get too uppity as they developed.

The consequences of handing over too much power to the smart. Als were too catastrophic to comprehend.

Just because the Red Fleet had decided to make greater use of sentient Als did not mean that it had dropped its vigilance towards artificial intelligences.

Any form of intelligence had the potential to turn against humankind. This also included humans themselves.

However, the problem was more serious when it came to alien intelligences.
