If this is indeed the way it does play out, and what you have said all sounds very plausible, it&#x27;s going to raise all sorts of difficult questions for future generations.<p>Who will decide how many of these AI&#x27;s can be created? Will AI&#x27;s ultimately be able to create their own offspring? We already have limited resources, this will only increase the demand :-) I see trouble ahead... as well huge opportunities for advancing our understanding of the Universe.
