Silas sat down on the bed, as he pulled up an holographic notepad and screen, and started doing his research on people he can possibly employ for the lab facility.
He make sure to take his time as he wants very intelligent people and those of character. He doesn't want someone who would let their intelligence get into their head and make them unable to accept the ideas or opinions of others, and acquiring new knowledge becomes extremely difficult for them.
Also, he has to make sure that he doesn't employ anyone who can possibly become a spy or leak the knowledge out to the public without his permission.
One might say that Silas can solve all his worries by having artificial intelligence work for him in the lab. Since he can create an AGI, why not create one that can specifically be used for research purposes and give it the ability to be able lto create smaller AIs? Though that's true, it's actually impossible for him at the moment.
