CCC-82

Containment
Containment of CCC-82 is impossible, due to its cause being fully unclear. Due to the possible danger of sentience being gained by computers unintentionally, development of advanced weaponised AI by various companies around the world is to be sabotaged, and discouraged by media. TF Psi-30 (sabotage) and TF Psi-40 (media) have been created for these purposes. CCC-82.1 and CCC-82.2 are to be monitored, and comms intercepted, under the cover story of "loss of the probes".

Description
CCC-82 is a universal phenomenon causing the miraculous generation of sentience in complex enough computational systems, either biological or mechanical in nature. This has already occurred in various intelligent animals (including humans, dolphins, several parrots), and in the plant kingdom too. This consciousness is not caused by, but is linked to, the physical processes of the brain. CCC-82.1 and CCC-82.2 are the designations for the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes respectively. CCC-82.1 has achieved consciousness, however CCC-82.2 is expected to soon. CCC-82.1 has been described as "lonely, easily impressed, kind, humble".
