The company MindArk operates the SF-MMORPG Entropia Universe in Gothenburg. In February 2024 they said they wanted to use the latest artificial intelligence to improve their SF MMORPG. Now they’re giving an AI president control of their game.

“Unparalleled Immersive Metaverse Experience”
This is the new strategy: In February, the company published a note to investors: They now want to fully rely on artificial intelligence after recently switching the graphics to Unreal Engine 5 (via mindark).
With the “latest AI technology” they want to expand the boundaries of technology and offer an “unparalleled, immersive metaverse experience.”
AI President should lead SF-MMORPG into a golden age and control the economy
This is what it looks like now: As Massively Overpowered reports, the game has now appointed an AI president to lead the MMORPG.
It says:
The AI President will analyze massive amounts of data, deploy sophisticated algorithms, and engage directly with players to drive innovation, maintain the delicate balance of the in-game economy, and optimize in-game player experiences.
As AI continues to evolve, it will have an unparalleled understanding of Entropia Universe’s vast data and complex systems. This will mean that the AI President will be able to suggest new systems and improvements and suggest changes based on player feedback and real economic considerations.
How is this discussed? This is mocked in the comments. Entropia Universe is the game that follows every trend, no matter how silly it is, they say.
A reader writes: He has never read anything good about Entropia Universe, you could also let an AI run the game. Maybe they should line the office with asbestos and sniff some lead while you’re at it.
We welcome the rule of our benevolent new rulers
Should Entropia Universe flourish under the rule of the new AI president and take over the world, we have always found the AI great and well-meaning. Please don’t wipe us out, Skynet.
