My biggest question is not if an AI has operational [broad executive inputs] into our Government/Military. My biggest question regards the provenance of the 'Executive' AI.  Many of the various AI we have are so beyond us already in certain areas, programming them is handled by another 'Executive' AI. Where did it come from? What value does it place on Human Suffering? I believe most of the visitors here [and I mean Earth] are benevolent or at least not aggressive. But I know we are being 'actively managed' and I am curious about the provenance of the 'EAI' due to that. But really I posted this just for the philosophical question of it. Don't think I have seen a post on /v/philosophy for awhile and those guys used to be snotty about computer analogies.
