Line 1:

This is a list of prominent people from the Eastern Caribbean, the Guianas, and the Bahamas. It does not include [[List of Cubans|Cubans]], [[List of Dominicans|Dominicans (from the Dominican Republic)]], [[List of Puerto Ricans|Puerto Ricans]], [[List of Jamaicans|Jamaicans]] or [[List of Haitians|Haitians]]. Because of the close proximity of these countries, some people are listed under more than one heading.

==[[Antigua and Barbuda]]==

'''Cybernetic revolt,''' more commonly known as "'''the computers take over'''", is a [[science fiction]] [[scenario]] in which [[Artificial Intelligence|artificially intelligent]] man-made beings (often a single [[supercomputer]] or a computer network) decide humans are a threat (to either themselves or to the machines) and try to control or destroy the [[human|human race]], leading to [[Machine Rule]]. In this genre, humans often prevail using "human" qualities, for example using [[emotion]]s, [[illogic]], or exploiting the postulated rigid thinking and lack of innovation of the computer's mind.

The fear of humanity being made obsolete by technology taps into some of modern man's deepest fears. This can be shown to have been the case even before the computer became prominent, as [[Charlie Chaplin]]'s movie ''[[Modern Times (film)|Modern Times]]'' shows. However, even as he was slowly being displaced from most physical tasks, man has always prided himself on his brain, taking the mechanistic 'thoughts' of early computers as proof that he would not be overtaken by his own [[Frankenstein's monster|'Frankenstein' creations]]. While successful [[artificial intelligence]] creation is still a remote concept at this time, successes in simulating parts of intelligence - as for example in the victories of the [[Deep Blue]] chess computer - have shaken mankind's certainty about its permanent place at the top of sentience.

As [[Moore's law]] has shown, computer power has (seemingly) limitless growth potential. While there are physical constraints to the speed at which modern microprocessors can function, scientists are already considering means to eventually supersede these limits, such as [[quantum computers]]. If this growth process holds, and existing problems in creating [[artificial intelligence]] are finally overcome, sentient machines are likely to immediately hold enormous advantage in some forms of mental capability, especially likely to include the ability of [[perfect recall]], enormous speed of comprehension, and the ability to [[multitask]] in ways not possible to biological sentiences. This may give them the opportunity to - either as a single sentience or as a new [[species]] - become much more powerful than humans, and to displace them.

For this to occur, it has to be postulated that it will not be possible for two intelligent species to coexist peacefully with one another - especially if one is of much more advanced intelligence and power.{{fact}} While cybernetic revolt (postulating the machine as the more advanced species) is thus a possible outcome of machines gaining sentience, neither has it so far been disproven that a peaceful outcome can still occur. Human history, while not particularly impressive in man's treatment of fellow man or non-sentient animals, does not give any final clue to his treatment of, or treatment by, another sentience.

Such fears stem from a belief that competitiveness and aggression are necessary in any intelligent being's goal system. But humans' competitiveness stems from the evolutionary background to our intelligence, where survival and reproduction of genes in the face of human and non-human competitors was the central goal. (See [http://www.singinst.org/ourresearch/presentations/ Creating a New Intelligent Species].) In fact, an arbitrary intelligence can have arbitrary goals: There is no particular reason that an artificially-intelligent machine would be hostile, or friendly for that matter unless its creator programs it to be such (and indeed military systems are designed to be hostile, at least to some people).
