Be afraid of AI and robots! Isaac
Asimov's story, “I, Robot” showed us that, despite programming
efforts to encode a set of laws, AI can find a way. “The
Terminator” showed us that Skynet, an artificial intelligence
defense system, was first built as a "Global Digital Defense
Network" and given command over all computerized military
hardware and systems. Skynet eventually concluded all humans were a
threat, not just those it was programmed to protect, and sent its
robots out to destroy the entire human race. In “The Matrix,” the
human race has already been subdued by an AI system and forced into
unconscious slavery. Yet despite all these and many other great
stories and movies, we are still moving steadily ahead on the same
path, giving our military drones more and more autonomy, developing
AI's to conduct warfare for us, and developing towards the point that
AI will become more intelligent than humans by 2029. Haven't we
learned anything from sci-fi? We'd better, before it's too late...
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
