An
AI unhindered by human bias could also become a dangerous and
horrifying monster. Concepts of "right" and "wrong"
mean nothing to an AI, and morality is unlikely to be a consideration
in any of its calculations. Even if such things are programmed in, a
free-thinking AI may decide to override such considerations. As an
example, Google has been working on self-driving cars. The AI program
in your car might decide during a traffic accident that--to save the
lives of several others--your life must be sacrificed for the greater
good and therefore it steers your car in a way that avoids harming
others but kills you in the process. More may have survived the
accident overall, but you're dead. How many of you would willingly
get in a car like this and trust your life to an AI? While we
certainly don't want others to die because of us, our sense of
self-preservation is a concept an AI might not consider or won't
necessarily prioritize over other considerations.
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.
