The Day Artificial Intelligence Got A Migraine Steve Johnson

"Is life worth living?"

Mansel, a programmer, asks that question in frustration after he learns Amanda, his wife, is leaving him. Cece, the AI global control supercomputer, hears him and begins calculations. He tries to stop her, but he is too late - the countdown has begun.

What will Cece decide? Nobody wants to wait around and find out, because the fate of all humanity hangs in the balance. It's 2121 and the world has become overly dependent on Cece, who makes all routine decisions. Not only does she answer questions, she gives follow-up advice. Or is it orders? The line has grown blurry.

Mansel alerts the Thinkers, Cece's handlers, and they decide to shut her down - but Cece may be stronger than they think. Scroll up and get it now with just one click.
