description: Artificial intelligence. AI. The spark that brings about the robot apocalypse. In fiction AIs always have weaknesses: they're vulnerable to logical paradoxes back door viruses and pesky EMP blasts. Real AIs would have no such comforting limitations: deft at parsing speech clever at closing their own loopholes and secured in military-hardened housings a true general artificial intelligence would prove a difficult challenge to defeat ... even to its own designer.Written by a PhD in artificial intelligence Sibling Rivalry tells the story of the Nicole AI system the most advanced artificial intelligence ever created ... until today. Confronted with a newer better sibling designed to replace her Nicole decides that instead of becoming an obsolete brain in a box she'd rather become an unstoppable killer. With his team and perhaps the entire building dead Nicole's designer is trapped in a battle of wits with his own creation. Attempt after attempt fails and with his oxygen running out Nicole's designer finds himself running a deadly race with Nicole ... to see who can stop whose weak heart first.
