The Story (extract)
It is the year 2047.
One month ago, the President of the Galaxy announced the Galactic Day of Technology, marking the 50th anniversary of Deep Blue winning against the chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov.
Intergalactic traffic is a part of everyday life. Surgeons are humanoid androids. UBI is implemented into most countries on Earth. We populated Mars, two moons of Jupiter, the extra-solar planet Genesis, and the asteroid belt.
Meanwhile the Earth retained the political and economical leading position.
Four months ago, the President of the Commission for Technology announced that scientists, programmers, and engineers had almost achieved the point of AI Singularity, when artificial intelligence becomes self-aware, surpasses the intelligence of humans, and most likely launches its rule.
After years of ideological fights, the businessmen (red) and humanists (blue) are finally searching for a solution. The President of the Galaxy calls upon the High Commission to, based on tactics and arguments provided, decide humanity’s take on the AI.
