| Breakthroughs in adaptive software enable the automation of society and our deep-space operations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Though our previously-developed neural networks approximate the function of a human brain, they remain, in essence, algorithms, and not a true intelligence in any meaningful way. The potential of digital consciousness is near-boundless - fully autonomous, code-based entities that can liberate humanity from the dangers and drudgery of construction work, mining, and maintenance, to name but a few. A world where robots and computers shoulder all our heaviest burdens. The myriad hazards of our operations in space make this more of a necessity than ever before - why endanger human life when a computer can do it for us? Yet the obstacle to progress has not been merely processing power and software refinement, but also safety - ensuring both that these AIs can indeed be entrusted with our lives, and that they cannot become self-aware enough to seek a higher purpose for themselves. Yet at last our software engineers are confident they have struck a happy balance, their prior breakthroughs in quantum computing giving rise to a wholly digital intelligence, capable of dutifully operating deep-space facilities without human intervention. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Quote | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Were some distant eye ever to gaze upon our world, it would see warehouse workers, denied bathroom breaks. Factory laborers paid pennies to assemble thousand-dollar phones. Children, dying in mines. Would it not question why we had not found smarter, kinder solutions?"
