The risk of artificial intelligence running out of control was real.
Even the slightest accident during the development and creation of artificial intelligence could have enormous consequences.

But with the survival of the species at stake, he could no longer afford to worry about all that.

Surely they would not stand by and let nanobots turn vast stretches of Blue Star into a barren wasteland?
