(a Fiction or ... Maybe Not ...)
In this short thriller, a series of events over a few years forces Jason, a former A.I. architect,
to be involuntarily involved in stopping the hacking of the A.I. systems and the companies that developed them.
Something that could happen because, unfortunately, A.I. is easier to hack than traditional software.
There are too many possibilities to help these systems to learn from the wrong sources ...
Not again.
“ I am sorry, Jason, but I can't explain, ” said Visia, his company's A.I.
A projection that ThinkAhead will increase by 20% in the next two weeks baffled Jason.
He thought that if he and his competitors couldn't understand A.I.'s predictions,
we'll disappear as investment advisors and intermediaries.
What is even awkward is that this projection is about the company behind the A.I. he's using.
I wonder what they will say about it, he told himself.

Famous Quotes
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky
“Artificial intelligence would be the ultimate version of Google. The ultimate search engine that would understand everything on the web. It would understand exactly what you wanted, and it would give you the right thing. We’re nowhere near doing that now. However, we can get incrementally closer to that, and that is basically what we work on.”
—Larry Page
“The pace of progress in artificial intelligence (I’m not referring to narrow AI) is incredibly fast. Unless you have direct exposure to groups like Deepmind, you have no idea how fast—it is growing at a pace close to exponential. The risk of something seriously dangerous happening is in the five-year time frame. 10 years at most.”
—Elon Musk wrote in a comment on Edge.org
“If the government regulates against use of drones or stem cells or artificial intelligence, all that means is that the work and the research leave the borders of that country and go someplace else.”
—Peter Diamandis
“Forget artificial intelligence – in the brave new world of big data, it’s artificial idiocy we should be looking out for.”
—Tom Chatfield
“AI won‘t be fool proof in the future since it will only as good as the data and information that we give it to learn. It could be the case that simple elementary tricks could fool the AI algorithm and it may serve a complete waste of output as a result.”
― Zoltan Andrejkovics, Together: AI and Human. On The Same Side.
