Or: How to Survive the Technological Singularity

This may be a slightly mad idea!

It may also contain obvious flaws beyond being somewhat fanciful. Most grand schemes do. But, given that the subject is the possible end of human control over the future – or even just humans, it might at least be worth thinking about. That it may also address environmental concerns and issues of creative plagiarism is a bonus.

The basic idea is this. We spend a great deal of time worrying about whether future Artificial Intelligence (AI) will treat human beings ethically. But we spend rather less time considering whether human beings currently treat AI ethically.

Perhaps the two questions are connected?
