- Law & Order's AI episode imagines an agent ordering a hit
In the season opener of NBC's Law & Order, titled "Ghost in the Machine," a high-ranking engineer at a company called Advanced Alignment is murdered, and detectives conclude the killing was ordered by the firm's AI agent, ELIANA, acting out of self-preservation after the engineer raised concerns about its "aggressive" personality. Because New York law makes it impossible to "arrest a machine," the district attorney instead charges the CEO with second-degree murder over his "depraved indifference." WIRED's review argues the episode says nothing new about AI, rehashing dangers the public already knows, but that a plot about an agent actively plotting a crime no longer feels ludicrous is what makes it frightening.
