Dr. Keira Stetson is at the forefront of a technological revolution, driven by her dual passions: ethical artificial intelligence — AI with a conscience — and creating technology that enhances children’s lives. Trapped in an earthquake-flattened building with a half-dozen panicked five-year-olds, she fears the worst. When billionaire Roy Brandt leverages his mysterious nanite technology to rescue them, she’s both grateful and intrigued.
Impressed by his prototype technology but alarmed at its potential for exploitation, Keira makes a fateful decision to merge her company with Brandt’s. This strategic move not only grants Keira the much-needed funds for her own tech development, but also gives her access to Brandt’s powerful minuscule robots. In a bold move, she and her AI assistant, Elly, embed Keira’s trademark Moral Operating System in Brandt’s nanite SmartDust to ensure its ethical use.
Yet, Brandt's groundbreaking technology has been shrouded in secrecy for a reason. Despite his noble intentions to enhance life, others have darker plans. Corporate raiders and the military seek to weaponize Brandt’s nanites, putting everything Keira has worked for in jeopardy. Exposed to the darker side of humanity, she and Elly must now navigate a perilous path to use this newfound tech for good and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands…before it’s too late.

" [...] I think there are places one's intellect can go, where one's morality should prevent. [...]"
"Moral Code" is the debut novel by Lois & Ross Melbourne.
It is ideal for all fans of Sci-fi books, AI artificial intelligence and nanobots.
This book causes the reader to have a lot of questions in their head. It forces them to reflect deeply on life.
Together with the characters, we explore the morality of artificial intelligence, as well as the whole world. Does artificial intelligence have emotions? Do we need AI in today's world? Here, I met Dr. Keira Stetson and her AI assistant Elly, among others. Will they work well together? I am glad that the authors focused on a strong female personality.
Elly's AI is developing quite well. I liked her analytical mind, if we can talk about the mind of artificial intelligence. The topics discussed here include human trafficking, preventing violence against children, and betrayal. Can the world be free from violence against young children and teenagers?
The beginning of "Moral Code" was very interesting. The middle was boring in places. The ending was exciting.
I think "Moral Code" is a good novel. If you like literary debuts, you can safely reach for it. Who knows, maybe this story will change the world for the better.
Remember, there is no permission for human trafficking, violence against children, and their exploitation. Anyone who breaks the law - no matter what state function they hold - should be severely punished.
The novel "Moral Code" is worth reading.
I will gladly read more novels by Lois & Ross Melbourne.
