Germ warfare is wildly illegal, but to assume that all the major powers don't have stockpiles, even if they spin it as "In case there's ever a breakout, we need cultures to create a cure", you're deluding yourself. If AI ever became legal again, or if something bad happened and only more AI could help, then everybody could claim they pulled the greatest all-nighter of all time and trot out what they had all along | |

But, if having a functional AI can give someone (a government / company / criminal organization / terrorist group) a military or economic advantage, then you'd probably not only want to have one, but you'll want to have it before your competition does. This remains true even after a near-apocalypse - there's bound to be some organizations that place the possible gains above the risks. And these won't be only rouge scientists and anarchists - but governments, mega-corps and illegal organizations... | |
