Please welcome my partner in science and in life, Dr. Will Caster.

The path to building super intelligence requires us to unlock to the most fundamental secrets of the universe.

Imagine a machine with full range of human emotion.

Its analytical power will be greater than the collective intelligence of every person in the history of the world.

Some scientists refer to this as the Singularity.

Professor?

I call it Transcendence.

A series of attacks conducted by a radical anti-tech group known as R.I.F.T. (Revolutionary Independence From Technology.)

They hit AI labs all over the country.

We lost decades of research and development.

It's radiation poisoning.

__________1__________.

__________2__________.

Will's body is dying, but his mind is a pattern of electrical signals.

We can upload his consciousness.

We can save him.

Not like this.

Assuming that this works, if we missed anything, a thought or a childhood memory, how would you know who you're dealing with?

Evelyn?

Oh, my God!

I can't feel anything.

I'm here.

You need to get me online, I need more power.

He may be intelligent, maybe even sentient.

This is not Will.

Shut it down.

Shut it down? 

It's him!

Your friends crossed the line.

They don't know the danger.

This is astounding.

So, how do we fight it?

We can't.

An AI is like any intelligence.

It has needs.

The real Will died.

It will start to evolve...

Where is the machine?

... to __________3__________.

Where are you going?

Everywhere.
