Summary
This document appears to be a page from an essay or book chapter titled 'The Purpose Put Into The Machine' by AI expert Stuart Russell. The text analyzes the historical warnings of Norbert Wiener regarding artificial intelligence, specifically the danger of machines executing objectives that do not align with human desires (the 'djinnee in a bottle' problem). While the text itself is academic, the footer 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016832' indicates this document was part of the House Oversight Committee's investigation, likely regarding Jeffrey Epstein's cultivation of relationships with prominent scientists and academics.
