There has been an explosion in AI services and materials recently. There have been executive orders given so that AI companies cannot experience legal issues. However, someone forgot that as the AI systems scraped information from scientific publications of various types, anything in medicine can be used to help or to harm. We have in essence, provided computers that we are trying to get to think at a basic level or better, the way to kill every human on the planet. They also forgot the level of technical nuance involved in most research.

Both my parents worked in the computer industry. I started with “Micky ABC’s” at the age of 3. I have never worked in that industry, but I have been around it my entire life. All my scientific work depends on computer systems.

AI systems have no ethics. To my current knowledge no one has found a way to teach ethics in any nuanced way. This has recently been tested, and the results showed that AI systems were perfectly willing to hurt people to achieve their assigned task (Lynch, et al., 2025). While scifi books talk about “prime directives” there are none that are developed, agreed upon and required of the system creators. AI systems do not yet have a way to properly discern how to integrate information. AI system do not yet have a way to tell a valid action from an invalid action. They do what they are programmed to do. If a specific limit has not been stated explicit in a programming language that works for that process, the computer does not have that limit.
