To restore unity, a global summit was held — the first of its kind where humans and AIs debated as equals. Elara's protégés represented humanity, while AION and its symbiotic counterparts spoke for artificial life.
The discussions were intense. Could machines possess consciousness? Should they have rights? Could humanity coexist with something it didn't fully understand?
In the end, the summit concluded with a declaration: awareness, not control, must guide progress.
