Ethics of Life -- Artificial Intelligence in fiction (Part 1)

Ray Kurzweil famously described the coming age of super-intelligence as the'Singularity', based on the cosmological concept of the Big Bang (a zero-dimensional concept where space and time begins). He expects humans to merge with digital intelligence to become the super-intelligence[2] -- a theme being explored by Elon Musk with his Neuralink project. However, if we are not careful, artificial intelligence (AI) may emerge before we are ready to deal with it. One might also ask: if it was already here, would we definitely know that? Nick Bostrom has been a consistent philosophical and ethical thinker in respect of the potential impact of artificial intelligence and super-intelligence on humans.
