As an artificial intelligence researcher, I often come across the idea that many  people are afraid of what AI might bring . It’s perhaps unsurprising, given both history and the entertainment industry, that  we might be afraid  of a cybernetic takeover that forces us to live locked away, “Matrix”-like, as  some sort of human battery . And yet it is hard for me to look up from the  evolutionary computer models I use to develop AI , to think about how the innocent virtual creatures on my screen might become the monsters of the future.

But I would submit that that is perhaps a better question for Gulliver, since he’s the one that violated my busily masticating maw by inserting that long, thin, delicatessen-slice muscle of his while I was simply enjoying a bite of a very banal bagel.
