Reminds me a bit of Isaac Asimov‘s novel „I, Robot“ where they rely on positronic brains to do things. In the story, mathematics seems to have caught up and developed a framework to analyse the behavior of an AI system. I wonder if something similar will happen if CS becomes an empirical science, i.e., will we try to infer laws from empirical AI behavior measurements so that we can reason about it more effectively? This would then turn CS into Physics somewhat, but based on an artificial system. Very strange times.

> these AI systems will be flying our airplanes, running our power grids, and possibly even governing entire countries.

I guess we should figure out how to include the three laws of robotics in connectionist models asap…
