I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 371 We must have a super artificial intelligence!
After a brief moment of surprise, Pym suddenly realized what was happening.

Why would Kang the Conqueror, a man from the future unaffected by the past, choose to actively interfere in 21st-century history? He had absolutely no need for it. Everyone knew he must have some purpose, but no one knew what it was.

Now Pym knows.

"You need Ultron—why?"

“Actually, all I need is a super AI, one that can keep evolving in the 21st century, analyze the technology of the 31st century, and even go a step further.” Kang’s chair appeared behind him, and he sat down. “For this purpose, I will constantly correct the fates that you have altered, in order to provide one new environment after another for the rise of super AI.”

"Take the Green Goblin AI for example. There was no Green Goblin AI in history, but it appeared because of my intervention. Unfortunately, it does not meet my requirements."

"You think I'd help you, Kang?"

Hank flatly rejected Kang's proposal. He already knew what terrible things Ultron would cause in the future and how terrible an enemy it would become. He would not create another, more powerful enemy in order to defeat one.

Kang simply smiled, extended his hand, and a green gem floated between the two men, flying towards Pym.

"This is the Time Stone, Dr. Pym. I generously grant you permission to use it for a moment; of course, for that moment, what you will see is infinite."

Pym refused to accept it, taking two steps back. Kang reluctantly caught the Time Stone himself and quickly imprinted the future onto it. The first thing Pym and Kang saw was the terrifying AI Green Goblin, who had taken control of everything, destroyed almost everything, and turned nearly all the surviving humans in the world into puppets controlled by the Green Goblin serum and mask.

Then, the AI ​​Green Goblin, in yet another way, destroyed the world. Scene after scene, the Avengers fought back, defeating the AI ​​Green Goblin time and again, until he was reborn and returned even stronger.

"What are you trying to say? That Ultron's existence is necessary?"

Kang smiled.

"No, keep watching, Dr. Pym."

Next, in another timeline, the AI ​​Green Goblin was completely destroyed by the Avengers, and Pym did not create Ultron. However, in the future, the conflict between mutants and ordinary people is growing, and the Sentinel robots begin to iterate and upgrade continuously until one day, a super AI is born as the central hub of the Sentinel robots.

It possesses an infinitely regenerating body, performs genetic testing on all humans, slaughters almost all mutants, imprisons all ordinary people, and kills both parents if any offspring exhibit a potential X-gene mutation.

The entire world was thus utterly destroyed by the Sentinel robots.

"Its name is Nimrod, Dr. Pym. A super artificial intelligence that emerged due to the escalating conflict between mutants and humans. He completely destroyed human civilization, just like the Green Goblin and Ultron. Let's move on to the next one."

Within the X-Men's Perilous Chamber system, this training system, designed to simulate real-world environments, gradually developed its own intelligence and thought processes, eventually becoming a new super artificial intelligence possessing all of the X-Men's data and information. In countless future conflicts between humans and mutants, Perilous Chamber will always choose to protect mutants, ultimately annihilating all of humanity. Hank tries to convince himself that it's all an illusion, but it's not Kang who instills this in him, but the Time Stone. Kang merely selects these images, while Pym's intuition tells him it's all real.

"My God..."

In one future, Tony Stark and Banner used the programs of the Infinity Stones to develop the artificial intelligence that controls the Iron Legion. This system developed logical errors due to its command to protect humanity, thus becoming a super artificial intelligence that destroys the world. In another future, Jarvis also developed logical errors after evolving on its own and began to attempt to destroy the world.

Some apocalypses are temporarily averted, some are not; all these possible futures, no matter how you try to escape them, cannot be avoided.

The United States, Europe, Russia, and the major Eastern power—someone will inevitably choose to take this step, to create entirely new and more advanced artificial intelligence, while others will quickly follow suit. Among these new AIs, one will surely emerge dedicated to destroying humanity.

It's like an inescapable, predetermined fate.

“There will always be an AI like this, without a doubt.” Kang said leisurely, sitting in his chair. “All these artificial intelligences have one thing in common: they exist in the network. No matter how many times you defeat them, they can survive in the network and make a comeback, unless…”

"Unless we design an enemy that we can fight from the beginning. We can't control other people to create a super AI of this level, like the Green Goblin, but we can try to control the AI ​​we create, for example, by standardizing the program and installing backdoors."

Pym understood Kang's meaning. Kang's purpose was clear: he wasn't sending these villains' technologies over for fun, but to guide Pym in creating Ultron.

But why? What was Kang's purpose?
Conqueror Kang clearly had no intention of explaining the matter; he simply watched Pym quietly.

"There has always been a very delicate topic about changing the past, or rather, changing the future, Dr. Pym, how much can we change the future?" Kang explained his point of view: "Many times, time travelers want to integrate into the past and live in the past, and they also want to succeed. The only way for them to do so is to use their familiarity with history and their foresight to gain an advantage."

"But the problem is, the more you change, the less foresight you have, and the fewer advantages you gain. Perhaps the greater benefits in the future will disappear because of the changes you make now."

Kang sat in his chair, a smile on his face, and looked at Pym: "So the choice is yours, Dr. Pym. Do you choose to make the future completely unpredictable, turning the future enemy into a new enemy that you Avengers can't predict at all, and don't know if you can defeat, or do you turn him into an old enemy that you know you can defeat and that you can prepare a way to defeat in advance?"

"Is it to avoid the immediate disaster and create a completely unknown future, or to choose not to change some things for a smoother future? It's your choice, or perhaps the choice of the entire Avengers."

Kang smiled and leaned forward, asking Pym, "What will you choose, Dr. Pym?"

　Marvel does have a setting where, no matter how you try to avoid it, a super AI that wants to destroy all of humanity will emerge. It's not Ultron; it could be any other AI. The article only lists some possibilities.

　　And the idea that time travelers altering the future and thus losing their foresight is indeed a very interesting topic. However, there is actually a standard answer to this question: acquire enough abilities to mitigate risks before losing foresight.
