I'm sorry for bringing this up, because it's vaguely controversial in some circles, and worse, a huge time-sink on par with TVTropes, but Yudkowsky attempted to run an experiment to see whether someone could be convinced by an AI, using nothing but text, to release the AI into the world. Apparently, he succeeded - his subject elected to release the fake AI.
The method wasn't made public, as far as I know, and it might all be a hoax, but it's something to think about - how do you trap and imprison something smarter than you?
