“A Lie (Artificial Intransigence) by Stewart Stafford

The morrow lies beyond
The grasp of our hands,
Fogged coastal shadows
Of mountains in distant lands.

Deities of tech Olympus,
Subhuman to simulated will?
Sage genius cannot tell,
But hubris claims to still.

The synthetic brainchild,
Squats on shoulders high
Of eyeless seers' vision,
Our sentient clone - AI.

“AI is a tool and, like any tool, it can be used for positive and negative ends. It depends on the motives of the operator(s). There are benefits; it could revolutionise crime detection if utilized correctly, speed up and focus investigations and secure convictions. New technology will always be exploited before it is harnessed. That's human nature. With the internet as the perfect delivery mechanism, the effect of AI is multiplied infinitely. The danger is we may have invented our replacement that will one day outgrow us and evolve beyond us.”

“The Icarian Impulse by Stewart Stafford

With fruit of the knowledge tree,
We took a bite from our world,
Gaining serpent's destructive kiss,
Malicious shortcuts paved "good."

The shock setting of a precedent,
Akin to committing bloody murder,
Shedding the skin of equilibrium,
As a lethal new dawn descends.

Promethean self-replicating beings;
Sacrilegious idols mirror our image,
Synthetic, unsympathetic sentience,
Masochistic puzzles of self-immolation.
