The Final Prophecy: AI's Ultimate Judgment on Humankind

By John T. Oirad

Award-winning journalist Margaret Cantino has been hosting the top-rating 9PM news show, The Cantino Perspective, for over five years. But this is no ordinary year. A young pope has died unexpectedly and a seven-year-old autistic girl has won a singing competition in Romania. The Chinese president has also died unexpectedly. The US is having catastrophic problems with its artificial intelligence (AI)-based defense management system - called God-Bot - and the Chinese are having equally dire problems with their AI-driven defense system - called Tianzhu-Bot.

All these passing events seemed completely unrelated, but when two ordinary New Yorkers - a father and son - appear on The Cantino Perspective with a document that they uncovered unexpectedly, then the disjointed pieces of the puzzle suddenly fall into place. Margaret Cantino has uncovered the biggest news story of her career, and the largest political and defense scandal of all time. For years, governments claimed that God-Bot and Tianzhu-Bot were just AI-based defense advisory systems, but it soon becomes clear that that simply isn't true.

Night after night, Margaret Cantino's probing interviews reveal an unfolding disaster of global proportions, brought about by the misuse of Artificial Intelligence in defense operations. What unfolds live on her nightly program is a frightening collection of lethal, AI-based weapons systems that have permeated every facet of human existence.

The world's faithful believe that the God-Bot and Tianzhu-Bot AI defense systems are the tools of a global apocalypse, but even non-believers have realized that the AI-based weapons that these systems control have created a Gordian Knot from which humankind is unlikely to extricate itself.

With her cool reserve, and years of journalistic experience, the unflappable Margaret Cantino tries to unpick the Knot, as she pursues the biggest news story and scandal of all time. And she has a hard deadline to meet - September 13th - after which, humankind won't care how her news story turns out.
