Air gap your strong AI. AI will be great to DO all kinds of stuff but there is no reason we have to give it the ability to do things independently of our over site. Let the weak AI manage traffic and power grids and health care, listen to what the strong AI has to say about changes it thinks will be beneficial to us. If we don't give strong AI the reigns than it can't lead us too badly off course. Sadly we aren't too good at air gaping important systems right now and without serious work we will probably only get worse at it as we grow more dependent on networks.

Thanks for that link, it's fascinating. I had a wee google and found this which is an interesting supplement to the former.

Isn't that the starting premise of Neuromancer? :P
