My newest piano solo RUBICON will be available very soon. Rubicon is a play on words capturing themes of great interest to me personally. Long term followers will know of my background in chess as a young child. When coupled with my obsession with Roman History and Simulation Theory, clear parallels exist.
We are at a stage as a species where Artificial Intelligence is infiltrating every aspect of our daily lives. How this technology develops and is controlled (or not) is arguably the biggest threat to mankind in history. We are essentially at the Rubicon. Caesar had no choice but to cross the river and by doing so triggered the civil war, changing history forever. Likewise, humanity finds itself in a similar situation. Tech leaders are belatedly discussing drawing a line in the sand with regards to AI development. But, many argue that it's too little, too late. The machine has already crossed the Rubicon. In chess terms, is this the endgame ? How the game plays out ... we will find out.
