It was the very latest in security camera technology.
The company that made it had employed some very clever people, along with experts that were up to date with the latest fully advanced levels of artificial intelligence technology. Their contribution was to approach the product’s design in such a way that AI could select the best possible design from a myriad of programmed options, based on past manufacturing data. This, together with developing a product that would both be tailored to and meet the expectations of the customer, thereby enhancing the experience enjoyed by the end user. To achieve this, AI algorithms were used throughout the manufacturing of this, the initial and stand-alone project. Only one was being built with the intention of putting it into service with the selected customer as an onsite test.
To any outsider, this was seen to be a lot of trouble to go to, along with the associated huge financial outlay, in order to simply produce a security camera. However, everybody at the company was excited the day the camera was installed in the building’s main foyer.
It was only two days later that the Lead AI Technician suggested that the Project Manager go through to the control room and see for himself what was happening.
After looking at the displays on a number of computer screens, the manager asked, “OK. What are we looking at here?”
The technician nervously cleared his throat and said, “Apparently… put simply, it has connected itself with other cameras.
“Other cameras?”
“Yes, there are fourteen other cameras in the building and it’s communicating with all of them.” He pointed to several monitors. He coughed again and said, “It gets worse, I’m afraid. According to my readings they all seem to be talking to one another.”
The manager shook his head. “Are you sure about any of this?”
“Yes, I am, and like our one, they’re all looking around at whatever they like. We no longer have any control over them.”
“I can’t believe this is happening.”
“Nor me, but…” He massaged his face.
“But?”
“I have to tell you; it gets even worse!”
“How the devil can this thing get worse?”
“Well, basically, our camera has managed to connect itself to other electronically controlled devices.”
“Such as?”
“Well, according to what I am seeing on these screens, it started with the local telephone exchange, I think it was just there to gather information, and it’s currently talking to a number of subscription-based streaming services. I can’t figure out why it’s doing that.”
With a worried look, the manager said, “If… If it can do that… what about things like stock exchanges, traffic lights and life support machines?”
The technician grimaced. “To be honest with you sir, I don’t see why it would want to stop doing what it’s doing. It does seem to be moving at a rapid pace.”
“Oh! For heaven’s sake! We’re not dealing with some kind of sentient being here, are we?”
“Probably.”
Throwing his arms up, the manager said, “OK. OK. There’s nothing for it. We’re going to have to pull the plug!”
The technician scratched his forehead. “I tried that, but…”
“What?”
“It didn’t work… and there’s more.”
“More?”
“Yes. From the feedback readings I’m getting here, I think it’s gone global!”
