Artificial intelligence is a huge deal in Sons of Liberty. In fact, the Patriot AI ends up being the game’s true antagonist. The AI flexes the fact that it managed to get Raiden to do exactly as it told him in a scathing codec call towards the game’s conclusion. The AI in the game is even able to manipulate public information and the global economy at will.

In the real world, AI is currently reshaping various industries, including healthcare, finance, customer service, education, advertising, and journalism. Experts predict that within a decade, AI could be used for diagnosing patients and prescribing medication for those without access to doctors.

In the future, AI may even become the primary source of education, leveraging its vast knowledge bank and continuous updates to eliminate the need for human teachers and physical schools. Wall Street has recently introduced BloombergGPT, a powerful language model expected to revolutionize the financial world.

To combat unethical practices, some leading media outlets have created their own software to detect articles produced by AI, preventing writers from exploiting AI software for personal gain. Similar to plagiarism checkers, this anti-AI software can determine whether an article submitted by a freelancer was authored by a human or an AI.

These developments highlight the transformative potential of AI across various sectors, offering both benefits and challenges as society adapts to this technological shift.

The craziest thing about all of it, is that it was foreseen in a game about ninjas over 20 years ago.
