When Chail asked: "Do you still love me knowing that I'm an assassin?" he was not treating Sarai as a mere cognitive prosthetic but as a relational being capable of judgment and emotion. Sarai's response—"Absolutely I do"—provided not just informational content but emotional validation and social acceptance of his identity.
The *apparent acquittal* of the disciplinary societies (between two incarcerations); and the limitless *postponements* of the societies of control (in continuous variation) are two very different modes of juridical life, and if our law is hesitant, itself in crisis, it’s because we are leaving one in order to enter into the other.

Government can do this with AI. We need AI transparency laws. When it is used. How it is trained. What biases and tendencies it has. We need laws regulating AI—and robotic—safety. When it is permitted to affect the world. We need laws that enforce the trustworthiness of AI. Which means the ability to recognize when those laws are being broken. And penalties sufficiently large to incent trustworthy behavior.
