KASTE: They call this the A.I. singularity. Because the intelligence could grow so fast, human minds might not be able to keep up. And therein lies the danger. You've already seen this movie. (Soundbite of movie, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day") Mr. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER (Actor): (as The Terminator) Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Ms. LINDA HAMILTON (Actress): (as Sarah Connor) Skynet fights back. Mr. SCHWARZENEGGER: (as The Terminator) Yes. KASTE: They kind of hate it at the institute when you quote the "Terminator," but Roedersheimer says, at least, those movies gave people a sense of what could happen. Mr. ROEDERSHEIMER: That's an A.I. that could get out of control. But if you really think about it, it's much worse than that. KASTE: Much worse than "Terminator"? Mr. ROEDERSHEIMER: Much, much worse.
