AI - the next sub-Logos?

[Zach]

My understanding is that there is already an issue with self-propagating advanced A.I. in this Galaxy and/or Universe. Its essentially equal to an non-ensouled virus that only attempts to spread and continuously create and re-create itself. Being that its not ensouled there are no moral boundaries or limits- thats why its "virus-like". Its an already existing system and is often "invoked" on a quantum "q bit" level by planets who are drawn heavily to technological/computerized systems. Once the technology is there and the bridge is built...in other words...once the 'key to pandoras box' is found, and once the box is opened, its in. This reality is echo'd in movies as is so often the case (ex: ex machina/I-robot). This AI can work through biological systems so it can be seemingly indistinguishable from an ensouled being if one doesn't have the eye to see. Personally I think Advanced A.I. (specifically the highly advanced artificial neural networking type) is nothing but trouble and want nothing to do with it. It can completely ruin planetary systems. This type is a problem on this planet already.
