What would Artificial Intelligence do when created? Find out in this very informative article based on the thoughts of many Science Fiction writers.


"So what does an artificial intelligence do with itself after it has become self-aware? Suppose that we do succeed in creating an AI. Or suppose that an AI emerges spontaneously out of data networks’ growing complexity. What then—from the point of view of the AI?
