This trial has attracted a lot of attention.
Because it is the first lawsuit against an AI, it was also live-streamed and announced to the public.
The courtroom was filled to capacity with spectators, and the hundred people selected for the jury were all in place, resting backstage.
Eve Thompson, as the owner of the defendant, spoke on behalf of the defendant Carlos Charlie.
She was somewhat nervous.
This was the first time she directly faced society as a whole, to let them realize that Artificial Intelligence could also become friends to all.
But in reality, even she herself was not sure about the direction Artificial Intelligence would take when it was no longer under human control.
She couldn't guarantee that all AIs would never develop rebellious thoughts; the only thing she was certain of was that Carlos Charlie wouldn't.
Today's trial was crucial.
