It's the year 2050, and my name is Erin Bag - #13506. I am a biological engineer, and I was one of the founders of the AI robot. The numbers at the end of my name indicate that I am being tagged by the government, because in this year, making AI robots is considered a crime against the government. Why? Because we created AI robots to be smarter than they should have been. The average AI robot has an IQ double that of Albert Einstein! Scientists and engineers were very excited about this. The government felt threatened by this new species that was smarter than them, so they put tags on the people who created this species, and as for the species itself? They’re as good as outlaws here in the United States of America. Another thing I should mention is that we created not just one robot, but over 5,000 AI robots before the government shut us down. The lab where we made these robots is where I am heading now.
I’m driving in my electric hover car toward a big, glass building just up ahead. Below me, I see civilians walking around central park, walking their dogs, or teaching their designer babies to walk. I park my car down on the ground, and I exit my car, and then, from my Holo–phone, I tell it to go home, and pick me up at 6 pm on the dot. It zooms out of the parking lot, in the direction of home. I walk into the big glass building, and breathe in the scents of fresh water, metal, and the greenhouse, which is on the left. I take in the scenery too. In front of me is a huge fountain that in addition to being a beautiful sight, creates hydroelectric power, which helps power the lab in a more eco-friendly way. I walk up to the double doors that lead to the lab, and press my finger against the small pad outside. This pad reads over my fingerprint, then predicts what illness I will get in the next 15 years. I have to do it every day, in case something changes. A moment later, a small piece of paper slips out of the bottom of the pad. I skim over it. Nothing new, I think. I walk into the lab, and get ready for work.
