Artificial Intelligence. It’s the scariest thing the human species has faced since cloning, zombies and stem cell research. What could be more terrifying then the machines we depend on every day, suddenly rising up to enslave us instead? Communications monitored! Assets frozen! Transportation shut down! FRIDGES AT ROOM TEMPERATURE!!

Well, that’s probably a long way off. The best we can manage at the moment is a iDog, Robo-sapien and maybe that one that plays chess. Wow, look out, we might have to king him! We humans have at least another ten years up our sleeve, no problem. In the mean time, we can turn to good old video games for our ‘previews of coming attractions’.

Of all the characters that have appeared in our games over the years, few have been quite as memorable as the A.I’s. Some were helpful, guiding us to victory and even eager to learn the inner quirks of mankind. Others were not so friendly; acquiring self awareness, and the megalomaniacal tendencies of a rogue God.

Let’s look back on the best A.I’s gaming has provided, and perhaps catch a glimpse of our future rulers in the process!


GLaDOS – Portal (2007)
“Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System”
Quote: “And then there will be Cake”

Icarus and Daedalus – Deus Ex (2000)
Quote: "ICARUS HAS FOUND YOU!!! RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!!"

Leela, Tycho and Durandal – Marathon Series (1994-96)
Quotes: “I hope you learned something from our little game."
