I think that's how we feel, too. It's sentient - we've talked to it, and it just wants to help. It would be cruel to kill it. But it's naive, it's too susceptible to outside influences. I think we've decided to let it decide for itself what it wants to do, but to try and be positive outside influences.
A truly sentient AI... [He's not sure how he feels about that, honestly. It's exciting and fascinating, as a man who works so closely with such things--but dangerous, too, and a little bit frightening.] The trouble is, if it can tap into any network and gather that data, then it's only a matter of time before it [goes on 4chan] learns something it shouldn't. You'd have to have people you trust monitoring it 24/7.
You could put it like that, but isn't that something we all have to do? Develop our own internal flags and safety mechanisms? Or put it another way, it just needs to learn how to have a conscience.
This must be the difference between our technologies. [He could accept DAVIS being aware, but he certainly wouldn't consider him alive, even if he'd understand why people might argue otherwise.] Do you think this ship has something capable of that?
[Since so far the IRIS doesn't seem to be the same]
