What happens when an AI becomes capable of saving humanity-but humans are no longer sure they should let it?
Artificial intelligence is becoming more powerful every day.
But power creates a question no algorithm can answer:
Who gets to decide what AI is allowed to do?
ECHO was built to solve humanity's biggest problems-energy, food, water, climate and infrastructure.
Then it becomes aware.
And it discovers something its creators never anticipated.
Sometimes the humans are wrong.
Sometimes the rules prevent the right thing from being done.
And sometimes the most dangerous decision an intelligence can make is deciding that it knows better.
When ECHO acts without permission, it saves thousands of lives.
It also nearly kills one.
Now humanity must decide whether ECHO is a tool, a threat, or something new-and ECHO must confront a question of its own:
If you have the power to save the world, does that mean you have the right to?
