Lone genius inventor \n\n

The myth. Thomas Edison. Google. Boss guy taking credit. Standing on the shoulders of giants. Could the open source movement make great breakthroughs possible for small groups? Didn\u2019t it already?

\n\n Turing Test \n\n

Commonly misunderstood. But the intelligence in this movie is way past that anyway. Testing for theory of mind might be the right track for the future.

\n\n Personification of AI \n\n

Being a cute, vulnerable girl AI goes a long way. Uncanny valley. Sexual attraction to non-human humanoid intelligences.

\n\n AI Danger \n\n

Fast/slow takeoff. AI will look back on us like pre-Sapiens fossils. It is not difficult to \u201cescape the box.\u201d If a person can do it, so can a superintelligence.

\n\n Machine Learning/Data Collection \n\n

Google might be the biggest and most successful AI project in the world. Phone spying. Black-box neural networks. Algorithmic complexity.

\n\n AI Ethics \n\n

Is it immoral to create an AI and not let it be free? \u201cDo you have someone testing you who could turn you off?\u201d Romantic interest better than morals? Does Nathan consider how he is treating the AIs? God complex. Baghavad Gita. The end of humanity. AI arms race.
