individual of Moore's Law, the super linear doubling in the number of transistors in our microchips, which has become a stand-in term for the exponential rate of change we've seen in all the areas of our economy touched by technology. I want to read that passage for you in its entirety. First, let us postulate that the computer scientists succeed in developing intelligent machines that can do all things better than human beings can do them. In that case, presumably all work will be done by vast, highly organized systems of machines, and no human effort will be necessary. Either of two cases might occur. The machines might be permitted to make all of their own decisions without human oversight, or else human control over the machines might be retained. If the machines are permitted to make all of their own decisions, we can't make any conjectures as to the results, because it is impossible to guess how such machines might behave. We only point out that the fate of the human race would (6/26)
