Artificial Intelligence: Can we reign in the golem

Love it from purely humorous angle. Now UFAI has a cultural flavor!

Good point, now that you mention it, the tag-line is not too bad. The golem is a legendary example of an intelligent, though not superintelligent, entity which poses danger as it carries out its instructions to the letter. Luke and Louie used a golem for their though experiment.

And though we cannot hope to control our future superintelligence, the tag-line is at least phrased as a question.
