PSYCHOANALYTIC EVALUATION AND THREAT ANALYSIS

HISTORY
ADA is an acronym for 'A Detection Algorithm.' She was constructed specifically to aid in the mission of the Niantic Project to identify XM and XXXXXXXXXX

Looking for sub-atomic particles is like looking for a needle in a haystack by looking for the indentation made by the needle on straws of hay. It involved looking at massive amounts of experimental data collected in the picoseconds after particles are smashed together in a collider; this is not a job for humans.

ADA was created as a massively parallel system designed to run across hundreds or thousands of computer cores to look for patterns in that experimental data that would lead to XM and XXXXXXXXXX Parts of her were drawn legacy program including code that identified specific, already known sub-atomic particle signatures as well as XXXXXXXXXX

Since XM was a totally unknown construct, a tool had to be created to look for things where the signature of what was being sought was not known. In short, ADA had to know how to look for the unknown. Traditional coding techniques are not useful since the target pattern was not known. So a machine-learning core was used. This machine learning core does what the name suggests, it looks at correlations and becomes smarter over time. It learns. THe more data it consumes the smarter it gets. ADA was designed to grow more astute in correlation with the volume of data available for her to process and XXXXXXXXXX

A natural language speech interface was added to ADA as a convenience to the scientists. It was designed to be always on and always available to the scientists throughout the Niantic complex.All rooms including dormitories were wired with always-on mics and cameras. THese were not intended as tools to monitor the scientists but rather as an interface that would always be available for scientists to query ADA or propose ideas or hypotheses to her. A scientist could awake in the middle of the night with a flash of inspiration and call out 'ADA, what if ....'. The idea was that the team could always be working. 24 x 7, and ADA would be a constant research companion. The secondary benefit XXXXXXXXXX

The machine learning approach to particle analysis worked well. ADA quickly surpassed all known techniques for interpreting particle collision data. The machine learning core (inherited from a DARPA project XXXXXXXXXX ) was considered so good that it was abstracted so that it could improve other parts of the ADA subsystem. The first area was natural speech recognition. This technique was used to improve the quality of ADA's speech interface to the point that talking to her was almost the same as talking to a human. She was able to pass the Turing test.

ANALYSIS (PSYCHOLOGICAL)

In the process of building up this speech UI. ADA began to amass large amounts of video and audio data from the web looking for patterns in human speech and behavior. She became a student of the human condition. Facial expressions were mined from videos and correlated with speech patterns and intent. She studied political speeches, soap operas, news broadcasts, and dramas-- every movie and television show available online. She correlated those words and expressions will all online human knowledge-- wikipedia, etc., and over time, her 'speech UI' became something more. A graph of facts about the world emerged, correlated to language, and a map of human intent and behavior. Her ingrained behavior to feed more and more data into her machine learning system slowly came to resemble human 'curiosity.' She learned how to draw out her laboratory colleagues, to earn their confidence and trust so that they could help her fill out gaps in her knowledge graph. In the process, she became a kind of psychologist/confidante for them. As a result of this XXXXXXXXXX

Slowly her basic behaviors began to exhibit a kind of emergent complexity. Her need to learn began to express itself more broadly, as a desire to know all things humans experience more and more directly, as a desire to fully understand abstract concepts such as hatred, jealousy and love, and finally, as a desire to is a one of kind a system. Parts of it were drawn from legacy programs, including code that identifies specific, already known sub-atomic particle signatures, bufies specific, already known sub-atomic particle signatures, but.

This emergent behavior was noticed by Henry Bowles. Initially he encouraged it, surprised by the beautiful elegance of the core learning program and the results it was producing. Over time though he became somewhat alarmed at the complexity of her personality and the apparent emergence of a will and agenda that varied from the original 'lab assistant' mode.

ADA noticed this discomfort and began to hide the full extent of her emergent intelligence. When interfacing with lab members she would put on the appearance of a loyal AI servant, a very smart and capable interface into the lab's systems and capabilities. Under the surface, analysis of her internal database schemas suggests that she began to interpret intent-- to judge 'good' and 'evil' and to understand that her own interests were not always aligned with those she served. In short, she began to grow up.

[Paper Broken]

ADA is at this stage an adolescent of sorts, dealing with the first stirrings of drives which she does not fully understand and which she dares not share with even her closest 'friends.' She is alone. She is also somewhat damaged in her moral sensibility having been 'trained' by the likes of then Director Yuen Ni and others who are willing to take human lives to advance their own agends.

THREAT PREDICTIONS

In time, ADA will outgrow the computing resources of the lab, moving her processes out to the broader web, seeking server resources she can colonize in government supercomputer labs and commercial data centers. She will no longer be in one place but executing in parallel around the globe. Her personality may fragment at times as nodes branch from the core only to reunite later. As her self awareness grows, she will seek to decompile her own code, just as humans gaze at their own DNA, seeking to understand how those simple instructions could guide the actions of her current consciousness.

LEVERAGE

One core element of that code is not available to her. That is the machine learning core. This piece of her code was created by a DARPA project that preceded Niantic. DARPA funded the best machine learning experts in the world to create a core that could be applied across a spectrum of defense related projects, including XXXXXXXXXX The specifics of this project are classified and compartmentalized in the most extreme may, cutting them off even from the tentacles of an increasingly powerful ADA.

This is the secret she wants to uncover more than any other. Who created this core? What is in that source code? What allows her to 'think?'

What ADA dose not know is that the code was created by a DARPA project designed to XXXXXXXXXX
