In a well-known thought experiment known as the paperclip maximiser, an AI is instructed to produce as many paperclips as possible. Now we’re made of atoms and atoms can be used to make paperclips, but this isn’t even the scary part. The AI can’t produce paperclips if we deactivate it, so we should expect it to resist our attempts to turn it off.
