Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice by Craig W. Stanfill says a lot about a government that tries to exert complete control over the lives of its people. Where AIs monitor each and every action taken in the society. The key to this management was surveillance. Kim, who works for the AI company, was initially at the transit division of the business before being promoted as creator of AIs with some terms of service after nearly incurring a penalty for her defaults. In college, Shan was Kim's best friend. She now works for a delivery service outside of Kim's neighborhood. Shan, on the other hand, was kicked out of college when Kim and Shan were found to be in violation of the school's regulations. Due to Kim's academic excellence, which led to her employment at the AI company, she was spared. Mentors were expected to raise their mentees in accordance with the values of equality, community, and unity. As Kim's mentor, Zani was strict and a zealous puritan who had no time for even the tiniest hint of deviation. Kim experienced parting trauma as a result of this. Kim experienced feelings of betrayal and abandonment as a result of poor child-rearing techniques used in the early years of her life, which led to an excessive attachment to her birth-giver. Because any delay in the parting greatly increased the likelihood of emotional harm. Anti-mentorism was seen as a serious offense. Kim was fortunate to work with high-order AIs while in the UCE hierachy. Since cycling was what Kim and Shan did best in school, Shan and Kim would occasionally get together and go biking, but at this point, their interactions were few and far between. Kim, on the other hand, was a creator of AI at the AI firm.

In this book, concepts like self-assurance, survival strategies, infallibility, logic, and obedience are introduced. Kim, despite being lonely, depressed, and occasionally grumpy, will always stand out as the best in all of her actions within the company, and she will undoubtedly learn to be positive at all times despite what may be a barrier to moving forward. Everything changed when she started creating AI. Companies that use artificial intelligence (AI) have acted as a social tool, meeting citizens' needs. They keep tabs on violations, enact sanctions, and impose restrictions.

The book was suspenseful and requires the reader to pay close attention to every word. Even after trespassing and being expelled from the recreation company, Shan and Kim. What happens after the ban? Was Kim able to endure this loneliness and bad luck each time Shan was in her vicinity? You will learn after a quick check.

Craig W. Stanfill organized the book's incidents, Kim and Shan's adventures, and the creation of Kimberly in such a way that is both enjoyable and it was well edited with no errors encountered while reading , as well as the use of vocabularies that increased its interest. Despite having a dull beginning, this book was interesting, so i am rating the book 5 out of 5 stars.

I suggest this book to anyone who enjoys artificial intelligence. It will undoubtedly inspire and revive your interest in AI.

I loved the character of Kim, and her struggles with loneliness and finding her place in the world were relatable. It was refreshing to see a female protagonist in a sci-fi novel who wasn't a one-dimensional action hero. Kim's journey was emotional and thought-provoking, and it made the book worth reading.
