Imagine a world in which artificial intelligence controlled everything.

In some ways, we're already seeing the totalitarian effect of A-I on our everyday life... big tech has algorithms that help dictate what we see (and what we don't see.) "Big brother" is effectively watching you at all times...and making money off the decisions you make.

Well, one computer programmer finally said 'enough' -- it is time to alert the world to the issue.

Craig W Stanfill spent most of his career helping to create AI software to help companies run more efficiently...but, simultaneously, he worried what might happen if artificial intelligence were to land in the hands of people that truly wanted to control the world -- not just for profit, but also for pure power. The result would be quite terrifying...and depicted in his brand new book "Terms of Service."

"Terms of Service" is a novel set 250 years into the future....and in the future? Reality ceases to exist. Everything is determined by the "AIs" and the select few individuals that run the programs.

Stanfill tells the story of a young woman who manages to see through this charade. In Stanfill's interview with television personality Trish Regan, he explains why he's so worried and why it's critical to sound the alarm on AI now -- while the world still has an opportunity to intervene.
