A Person of Interest has been detained. You don’t say:)
Not referring to news alerts. "Person Of Interest" was a television show ten years back that had a tech nerd and a lethal agent guy working for "The Machine" - an artificial intelligence program that had achieved sentience like SkyNet of the Terminator movies.
It used data gleaned from cameras, phones and personal computers to discern criminal activities and would set those guys on a mission to go right the wrong.
And now here we are...except today's real A.I. lacks any moral imperative for good. Without tying it down with rules similar to Isaac Asimov's ethical Laws of Robotics it's a synthetic sociopath.
- Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics are: 1) A robot may not injure a human being or allow a human to come to harm; 2) A robot must obey orders given by humans unless it conflicts with the First Law; and 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as it does not conflict with the First or Second Law. Asimov later introduced a "Zeroth Law," which states that a robot may not harm humanity as a whole.
