The Digital Prometheus
What if your mind developed a mind of its own?
Michael and Elliot have spent years on developing an Al algorithm that would theoretically upload somebody’s entire mind into a programme, with Elliott as the test subject. Suddenly, Elliott dies under mysterious circumstances, and Michael is accused of her murder - by the programme.
When an AI accuses one of its creators of murder, will the accusation hold up in court? Can the AI be trusted? Could the programme be lying?
