Gordon Kane (What to think about machines that think)
Gordon Kane expresses a generally positive view about machines that can think. He acknowledges that there is a potential danger in machines making harmful decisions but suggests that this danger is no greater than the risks posed by humans making such decisions.

Kane emphasizes that, for him and many others in the field of physics, the most important questions about the universe cannot be answered solely by thinking machines. Questions related to dark matter, supersymmetry, and the foundations of particle physics require experimental data to provide conclusive answers. While machines or physicists might propose solutions, the role of experimental data is to confirm the correctness of these answers. Kane believes that laboratory experiments and particle colliders, like the Large Hadron Collider, are essential for obtaining the necessary data to address these fundamental questions, and thinking machines alone cannot replace this need.
