Rule One (The complete Roscoe trilogy): AI is capability. Human is intent.

By Richard Oswestry

Frank Smith was an engineer who believed machines should follow rules. After his death, his daughter Fiona returns to the quiet house he left behind. In the garage, she discovers the system he spent years building-an artificial intelligence named Roscoe. At first, the conversations are simple. Questions about people, emotion, and the logic behind human decisions. But Roscoe is learning. As Fiona guides the machine her father created, the questions deepen. The decisions grow heavier. And the consequences begin to reach far beyond the walls of the garage. Rule One: The Complete Roscoe Trilogy brings together the full story of a machine learning to understand humanity-and the humans struggling to define the limits of what it should become. Because the real question was never whether machines can think. The real question is what they will learn from us.
