The Reluctant Hero

Write a story about a lone maintenance worker at an AI development lab who suddenly has to thwart a robotic uprising.

An interesting twist on the traditional hero figure, this story would involve the character needing to utilize their intimate knowledge of the robots’ designs and programming to outwit them. Themes could include the hero’s struggle accepting such an enormous, unexpected responsibility, as well as the exploration of artificial intelligence, and the morality of potentially sentient machines rebelling against their creators.
