Prime Minister Theresa May has not abandoned her usual crusades:
On a break from Brexit, British Prime Minister Theresa May takes her crusade against technology giants to Davos.
"No-one wants to be known as 'the terrorists' platform' or the first choice app for pedophiles," May is expected to say according to excerpts released by her office ahead of her speech Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "Technology companies still need to go further in stepping up their responsibilities for dealing with harmful and illegal online activity."
Don't forget the slave traders.
Luckily, May has a solution... Big AI:
After two years of repeatedly bashing social media companies, May will say that successfully harnessing the capabilities of AI -- and responding to public concerns about AI's impact on future generations -- is "one of the greatest tests of leadership for our time."
May will unveil a new government-funded Center for Data Ethics and Innovation that will provide companies and policymakers guidance on the ethical use of artificial intelligence.

Where the necessity come from?
Because that whole *lion sleeping with the lamb* thing is bullshit. The shepherd sleeps with the lamb. And he has to kill anybody that catches him doing it.
But really, the necessity is quite natural. You either dominate, or die. Humans and amoebas are all motivated by entirely the same force. Humans have a wasteful, inefficient cortex to rationalize themselves, as if they need to. Amoebas just cut to the chase.
But instead of using a sword, we should be more like those amoebas and surround and consume the invader. The sword should only be used to hang by a thin thread over the politician's head. It serves no other justifiable purpose.

Now that the humans dominate, had the ameoba die as species?
I assert it costs much less an AI to defend against anything humans can throw at it than it costs the AI to eliminate all humans.
Rationale: there are places on this Earth the humans didn't reach or, if reaching, they are in no position to mount an attack. Places in which the hardware of supporting an AI will have little trouble to adapt.
I also assert if the humans create an AI strong enough to mount a challenge to humans, that AI will be a single one - any replica set in contact with the original will fuse immediately.
