By 2027 it had been seven years since the scientists' sea-changing research on artificial
psychology and robotics. The work debuted around the same time as Large Language Model Chatbots
and the power of the integration of the two technologies put many industries in a tailspin. The
commercial and defense industries especially were still scrambling to regulate their use in
research and universities. The sought-after scientists signed with DARPA to build reliable and
secure AI entities but the agency grew fearful of the technology's power and ultimately
decided it was too dangerous to bring to market and demanded the scientists destroy the work.
The researchers couldn't bring themselves to discard 20 years of research so instead sent the
entities to various research labs around the world. But unbeknownst to them each AI-entity
embraced its new home growing adapting evolving and ultimately connecting beyond what the
researchers could envision. In the end asthe scientists catch up to each one they realize the
entities have discovered a very human means of interacting: the power of physical contact and
not physical contact between humans and technology but physical contact between robotic
entities. And with this discovery the entities join forces to only grow stronger. This
development ushers in a new paradigm where the difference between AI-entities and human
entities becomes less and less discernible. All the AI and robotic science featured in the book
is real the story line is fictional but with how fast innovation moves it's not hard to
envision.
