Readers may recall that famous line spoken by HAL 9000, the computer in the 1969 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was of course a line that sent Dave to his death in outer space. It was also a line that was remarkably prescient for its time, envisaging as it did, the possibility of machine intelligence no longer being subservient to its creators.
