Can wealth inequalities exist with an abundance of AI-driven productivity?
What happens when AI systems are misaligned?

Find out and play it here.

Your first choice...

You have just graduated from The British Institute for Human and AI Symbiotic Existence (HASE), the final preparation for living in a world of AI Super-intelligence. Now it is time for you to start taking decisions.

Will you opt-in to AI Basic Universal Income, where you get money for accommodation, food and decent leisure activities for just 2 hours of daily training AI models?

Or will you choose to work? Work is in the servicing industry, where human involvement is most needed as AI models have not yet mastered embodiment.

The choice is yours.

Characters you may meet...

Ex Frontier Model Founder

Bianca and Cosimo

Aida

Fabio

Places you may explore...

The Care Home

The Library

The Beach

The Conti-Harris Villa

The Art Exhibition...

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks sat, so others could stand,
A quiet defiance that swept through the land.
With courage and calm, she sparked the fight,
For justice and freedom, she lit the light.

Lorenzo Medici

Lorenzo the Magnificent, with wealth and art,
Made Florence bloom, played a cunning part.
A patron of genius, in power he thrived,
Yet in politics and gold, he too contrived.

Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg, with code in hand,
Connected the world, a digital land.
From dorm room dreams to empire's might,
But privacy's cost casts a shadowed light.

Conti Harris

Conti-Harris, driven by a curious fire,
Sought to build, but what’s his desire?
Innovation or control, the lines intertwine,
His true intentions, hard to define.

How will things work out...?
