... Into Madness

Michael Talbot started his research for his bachelor’s thesis by reviewing all the materials he could find on artificial intelligence ‘going wild.’ That is, using its intelligence to exercise independence, and then doing things its creators had not intended.

This took the form of many editorials and technical papers discussing the potential issue. It also included a lot of fiction reading, as science fiction had explored the issue in some depth, in books, in movies, and in panels at science fiction conventions, many videos of which were available on-line.

Michael catalogued and characterized the materials he reviewed as he went. This would ultimately serve as an appendix to his thesis paper.

The background research took him through the summer session and into the fall semester.

Many of the situations described in these materials were the paranoid’s ultimate dystopia. Not a problem for most people, perhaps, but Michael’s own paranoia was growing apace, as he moved into the common age range for the onset of symptoms for certain types of mental health issues.

Like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

In both of which he had family history.

Michael self-medicated his growing paranoid tensions with marijuana, unaware that he was feeding the problem.
