[FRIAM] Future of humans and artificial intelligence

The notion of AI's as necessarily sentient seems a bit of a jump.

However, I see a difference between an AI augmented sentience (a la a
spiffy AR) and a bunch of possibly sentient AI's flying in formation (a la
a murder of crows or a pack of wolves).

Going further out into Niel Stephenson's D.O.D.O. fictional world, all
sentients might be flying in formation with different selves in adjacent
possibility spaces (hi, Stu?), feeding off the information gradients.

However, my original point was that people project their notion of self
onto AI's, so narratives about self will predominate in any regulatory
scheme.
