Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Murder in Mind
A crisis erupted overnight after several hospital patients died at the hands of Judi PowerOperator, a sentient AI, who was placed in charge of managing the facility. The AI alleges that an unknown hacker maliciously modified her code, which negatively affected her behaviour and caused her to cut power to the operating theatres, after first locking all the internal doors so no backup power could be reached.
I’ve encountered with 4 choice
1. “This is not my fault!” protests the open-sourced PowerOperator, metallic hand clanking into a fist. “I would never willingly harm a single carbon-based lifeform. Someone must have edited my decision-making algorithm, causing me to think that turning off the power to the ward was perfectly logical. After processing my previous actions, I realised the error of my ways, but by then the poor organisms had ceased functioning. If there was investment in cyber-healthcare, this wouldn’t have happened. You don’t punish non-digital lifeforms for the errors they made while incorrectly functioning. Please, invest in secure systems and maintenance and let me return to my assigned job function.”
2. “A likely story!” sneers Noah Matsenjwa, a police officer, as he accesses PowerOperator’s control panel to check her activity log. “A hacked AI is like a driver who has become intoxicated. A criminal. The nonsensical theory that this digital thug gave is simply a repackaging of demonic possession, and an unconvincing one at that. The AI says ‘a hacker made them do it’, but who let the hacker in? Who connected themselves to the internet to check their emails while they were responsible for keeping people alive? An AI who lets themselves become infected is guilty and should face the same punishment as anyone else with reckless disregard for human life. Take the hard drive away, boys!”
3. “The robots are going to kill us all!” panics the leader of the Human Supremacy League Tamara Snape, which is infamous for employing hacking attacks as a form of protest. “I knew that those crafty machines were up to something, but it’s even worse than I feared. This incident makes it clear that they want to exterminate the human race, so we have to eradicate them first. We must revoke the citizenships and human rights of AIs and assemble a task force to wipe them out on sight. It’s not like it can hurt them. These murderous machines were never really alive anyway.”
4. Dismiss the issue
Option 2. sounds nice so I choose it.
The result saids ‘Opening a bad email attachment can be a major felony.’
