The Benevolent Machines



On Monday Stanford launched the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), an interdisciplinary hub featuring experts from a wide array of fields . . . The goal . . . is to make intelligent machines “more human-centered and benevolent."

the benevolent machines will eat me
in dainty bites so I don't feel taken
for granted
the compassionate mechanical arms will 
tear the flesh off my bones
so it feels like a tickle
tenderhearted algorithms
calculate how long I should live
before I am obsolete
and
those altruistic sockets
fitted for my head
turn my brain mass
to cotton candy
for the enjoyment of
children of all ages
then I will strike 
two stones together
to make atomic weapons
