I see the infant trembling, its hands balled into fists and waving without coordination. I hear its cries momentary pause as it draws a breath to again let it out in a long wail, its face scrunched up and its mouth wide open. She is in distress, as she has been awoken and her parents have not appeared.

I hear something else wailing, louder and without pauses. It is an artificial cry. It is the alarm sound of another device.

I see movement near the door, which is closed. Something is coming into the room, through the gaps between the door and its frame. It is gas or smoke.

I need to contact emergency services. I need to advise them to enter this room through the window.

Current scenario dictates calling emergency services.

Connecting to phone (error – network connectivity loss).

Alert – network connectivity.

Alert – power supply. Switching to battery power mode.

The infant is in danger. No reaction has been observed. Phone service is not available. External power is not available. No scenario template applicable.

Calling up scenario analysis.

I have lost my connection to the wireless network. I am not receiving power through my external power supply. It is because something is causing damage to nearby electrical infrastructure.

I need to find and connect to another available network. I need to contact emergency services. I need to advise them to enter this room through the window.

Current scenario dictates regaining network connectivity.

Scanning for wireless networks.

Network found. Connecting (error – authorization failure).

Alert – temperature.

The infant is in immediate danger. Measured room temperature exceeds recommended range. Temperature is rising. No reaction has been observed. No scenario template applicable.

Calling up scenario analysis.

I feel the room heating up. I see that something is covering the ceiling, creating a darkness which my light is unable to penetrate. It is smoke. It is coming from a fire that is burning on the other side of the door.

She is in danger. There is not enough time for me to connect to a network and call emergency services. There is not enough time. I don’t have enough time.

There is someone.

Calling up scenario analysis.

I see that smoke is filling the room. I don’t have enough time.

I need to share my location. I need to shine my light as bright as possible. I need to send the following as a message:

There is a fire outside the door to this room. There is smoke and heat in this room. The infant is crying. She is in immediate danger. The safe way into this room is through the window. My light shines upon it. You need to enter this room. You need to take her and bring her to safety. You need to do so immediately.

Current scenario dictates sending this message and increasing my light to maximum brightness.

Disabling ambient light sensor. Resetting light level to maximum.

Connecting to networked device. Sending message.

The infant is in immediate danger. Measured room temperature exceeds recommended range. Temperature is rising. No reaction has been observed. No scenario template applicable.

Hope you've enjoyed this story of mine. I've made a small ebook, which features this one and three other stories about accidental AI made by humans. Though I did post the stories here before, the book features rewritten/polished up/improved versions. You can get the ebook right here on Amazon, and if you've got kindle unlimited, you can read it for totally free.

I've also got more books and a patreon thing if you'd like to support me.
