Machine learning, advanced robotic weaponry, and many other "artificial intelligence" systems typically involve a human in the loop. The human is an operator who observes the computer's ongoing processes and intervenes when necessary — think of a Predator drone pilot who watches live data feeds, interpreting and deciding when to pull the trigger.

79 The war and natural decay that afflicted the "rest of the world," as distinct from the "main accident of time," took place after the beginning of Solamona's rule and the institution of science. We know this because Solamona found an island where the entrance of strangers was frequent and for that reason ordained the prohibitions that "touch the entrance of strangers."
As the father of empiricism, Bacon is often credited with bringing science out of the realm of the spiritual, setting the stage for the more forceful atheism of Enlightenment thinkers like Denis Diderot. Yet while Bacon did keep separate in his mind the so-called "Book of God" and the "Book of Nature," his views on the spiritual and the secular were complex, as shown in New Atlantis.

Despite its relative antiquity, Karel Čapek's R.U.R. represents a much richer way to think about the moral challenge of creating robots than does the work of today's authors.

A century before Bacon wrote New Atlantis, Machiavelli rebuked philosophers for imagining republics that "have never been seen or known to exist in reality, for the distance is so great between how we live and how we ought to live that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done learns his ruin rather than his preservation."
