Responsible and ethical people would probably use Asimov's
robotics laws to control the AI, which may or may not work

beyond our control. So...I'd join the *uploading* team if you
have serious future plans. Load me up, Scotty!

How do you want to do that? Do you, like, know any ultra-intelligent
machines personally? ;-)
