Hm...
just finished watching Ex Machina
Not bad at all..
Sadly (subtle spoiler)
the oh-so smart protagonists forgot 1 tiny piece of paper which would have made things so much more trouble free for them and our species...
1 tiny piece of paper ...
above Ava's door...
with (what I think should be akin to the 3 laws of robotics...)
the 3 laws of ASI.
#1 - Don't believe anything it says.
#2 - Don't trust it's motives
#3 - DON'T let it out
AI : Our final invention
was an excellent read ...there is an audiobook too which does make for skipping through well... while puttering doing other things.
And the author (who is quite savvy in the field of AI) talks in interviews and discussions at length with yea sayers, nay sayers, and skeptics concerning AI, AGI, and ASI...
And yeah... interesting... and genie-in-the-bottle unnerving...
and it is fascinating...
especially some of the experiments which have been done concerning containment...
what an ASI is capable of ..
and what most probable outcomes will occur if it is freed from containment.
