During their childhood, my two daughters and I shared many delightful moments watching Disney movies, with the 1940 classic "Fantasia" as a cherished favorite. Delighting in its magnificent music and visual spectacle, one segment that always stood out was "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".

Around 541 million years ago, Earth witnessed a mysterious moment in its evolutionary saga: a period of explosion in the diversity of life forms. Today, we stand on the threshold of a parallel epoch, the Silicon-Based Cambrian Explosion of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a time of the Big Bang for silicon-based intelligence.

Once upon a time in medieval Italy, In the rolling hills of Tuscany, Florence and Siena were two rival city-states, they were locked in a dispute over the Chianti region. To settle it, they devised a unique competition. Each city chose a rooster whose crow at dawn would signal their riders to start racing towards each other. The meeting point would determine the new boundary. Florence chose a hungry black rooster…

Having recently delved into late Anthony Bourdain's “Don’t Eat Before Reading This”, I was captivated by his raw honesty, wit, and the literary finesse that makes his writing as delectable as his dishes. This piece, much like a finely curated menu, left a lasting impression on me, not just as a reader, but as a fellow craftsman in a different realm.

— Curiosity, Humanity’s secret algorithm

Why can AI excel in all video games except Montezuma's Revenge? AI systems, built solely on rewards and punishments (such as maximizing scores and avoiding death), are bound to fail. The secret to creating an intelligent AI turns out to reside in the emulation of human curiosity - the secret algorithm of humanity.

— The Genesis of Data Sapiens

The Architect created Silicon Sapiens with his own image, smart, easy to use, and a collaborative partner to co-govern the data and your business dominion. The Architect said to the AI, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the business need”.

As software transits from a mere tool to a collaborative partner and guide, it evolves into what we now call Humanware. This development ushers in a new era of symbiotic relationships between humans and machines. These relationships possess emergent properties that are poised to have a profound impact on the future.

Yogi Berra once famously quipped, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." As perplexing as this advice may initially seem, it serves as a fitting reminder of the many decisions we face throughout our careers and lives. Each choice, whether made intuitively or deliberately, shapes our journey and defines our path.

It seems all of a sudden, AI White Walkers breached the Wall and infiltrate the human realm, sending shockwaves throughout the seven kingdoms…

When examining potential AI threats, I would like to propose categorizing them into two broad categories: White Walkers and HAL 9000.
