“Artificial Learning Bias” sounds a caution in this age of burgeoning artificial intelligence. The more computers think and act like human beings, the less we want them to do that. In M.D.’s story, a spaceship captain finds he can’t just pull the plug on a headstrong teenager of a computer, he needs to sic a starn-mother computer onto him. Perhaps humanity ought to encircle the Solar System with space buoys that broadcast to space aliens: “Danger, humans. And don’t trust their artificial intelligence, either.”
