Everyone is labouring under the assumption that a.i. is 
something that a team of programmers could bash out
in a few "all-nighters". For anyone who has written a 
program of more than a few thousand lines, the prospect of
developing a bug free and trustworthy a.i. will appear extremely
daunting.

I suspect that the development of a.i.  will prove to be one
of the most intractable problems that mankind has ever
attempted to solve. 

a.i. may even be required to coordinate the efforts of billions 
of nano-machines in the repair of the cryonically suspended.
