re: Scientists find new form of matter. Time crystals.

Yeah, malevolence and AI seem to go hand-in-hand in Sci-fi movies.

However, I personally think that, as we develop AI technology, we're going to find that we're merely duplicating functions of our brains, which are the ultimate quantum computers. Certainly, the human brain is capable of horrific decisions concerning the well-being of fellow humans but as we create AI we have the opportunity to avoid incorporating "hostile" characteristics of intelligence.

Isaac Asimov, the great sci-if writer, anticipated this and devised his famous Three Laws of Robotics:

quote:

---

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
