Chapter 15 - Superintendent AI Nocturne PT 1

It has been a bad Monday, cause you all know how Mondays are. I was not able to finish the chapter so I wrote up an informational chapter for you all.

In the year 2012, amidst a world yearning for progress and innovation, a visionary entrepreneur named Dr. Samuel Hawthore had an ingenious idea. A city perfected by AI, a child of mankind.

The many had feared a singularity event, however, as a genius programmer Samuel knew that if you trained it correctly and raised it right it could be just like you or me.

An AI built to run the city's infrastructure would allow for a streamlining of usually slow government services. the Nocturn AI system could run he city's transportation infrastructure, including traffic signals, public transportation systems, and traffic flow optimization to ensure efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians. Then there were the city's utilities such as electricity, water supply, sewage systems, and waste management. The 911 call center was experiencing a shortage of people and having the AI coordinate with police, fire departments, and medical services could in theory save a lot of lives.

Then it could also run digital billboards throughout the city that could provide real-time information to residents and visitors about events, news, and weather updates. That doesn't even include the good it could do by taking over amber alerts, Silver alerts, and emergency messages from city authorities.

Having it watch and monitor the city puts it in a prime position to help maintain the city's infrastructure, including road repairs, building maintenance, and other essential services.

Sadly by the time, Dr. Hawthore had succeeded in making their creation, it was August 20th, 2023.

The night a Nuke leveled Night City.
