| Emergent AI in the Net Time has moved on - The Network is becoming so complex, and so many systems are connecting and disconnecting, that scientists are beginning to see emergent behaviour patterns in the Net. Some theorise that the system is slowly becoming self aware, and is slowly watching the world and the people in it. Its input is subtle at first - some modified data here and there, a few inquiries into systems. Nobody is sure if an intelligence is really at work at all. Above all, nobody can even guess the motives or desires of this new creation. And now, with every Agent on the planet searching for it, this new lifeform starts to get scared. Slowly, the Net becomes more and more unpredictable as it learns from the actions of those within it. Will it end up in chaos, or will this emergent intelligence become the new guardian of the Net? |
