AI in a Box

AI powers part of Google searches, Facebook’s face recognition, Skype’s instant language translation etc. The deep web is rumored to contain AI units confined in ‘boxes’ with whom several deep web diggers claim to have established contact. While their assertions could never be verified, modern day philosopher Nick Bronston warns, “We should not be confident in our ability to keep a super intelligent genie locked up in its bottle forever. Sooner or later, it will come out. A box, like a secure software environment or a virtual reality simulation from which it cannot escape. But how confident can we be that the A.I. couldn't find a bug. Given that merely human hackers find bugs all the time?”
