Many worry about a scenario in the
future where AI and robots will threaten humanity, but I have a very
different theory. Several years ago I wrote a short story based on
the idea that, though we do face a future full of robots and AI, we
will not be fighting a war against the machines as depicted in movies
like Terminator or The Matrix. Instead, I think that we will not even
notice what has happened. We won’t even see that our humanity and
individuality has slowly been eroded away. I think we won’t even
realize that we will have adopted the ways of machines ourselves. It
will start small, in fact, it already has. As Elon Musk puts it,
“We’re already cyborgs,” because we communicate more digitally
now than we do verbally. Consider how many texts and emails you
exchange every day. We’re already transitioning…
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.
