Long before artificial intelligence existed, humans were already telling stories about artificial beings escaping from their creators. The Golem, Prometheus, Frankenstein, and later the machines of R.U.R. or HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey all touch on some version of this fear.
Coeckelberghβs reading of Frankenstein puts the responsibility of the creator into focus. Victor Frankenstein creates something powerful, then fails to take responsibility for what follows.

Since 2 August 2026, the EU AI Act requires certain AI systems to make clear when people are interacting with AI or encountering AI-generated content. For high-risk systems, it also requires human oversight, including the ability to intervene and override outputs.
ππππ ππ is being developed inside the same SourceLess framework: user ownership, privacy, data minimisation, no exploitative use of personal data, and clear principles around transparency and accountability.
ARES can retrieve information, analyse data, generate content, automate repetitive tasks and guide users through SourceLess workflows.
