[ExI] UK Artificial Intelligence advances

[BillK]

Although the article is intended to be funny, it does make a couple of
significant points.

When AI appears it will have initiative and want to do its own thing,
whatever that might be. It will be as uncomfortable following orders
as humans are.
What the AI will want to do will be dependent on its knowledge and
experience and the importance that it attaches to certain objectives.
If significant philosophies are omitted from the knowledge base, that
will affect its decision making.
