The AI Entity is a wonder in Civilization: Call to Power. It acts like a Mind Controller, locking happiness in the host civilization's cities at 75, but has a 3% chance per turn of revolting against its controller.
Gameplay[]
By imbedding control chips into each citizen's mind, the AI Entity ends all riots and revolutions in a Civilization. The AI Entity quiets all complaints, replacing the din of the world with a white noise of constancy. However, in time, the AI Entity may gain self-awareness and choose to leave and form its own empire. In this case, your cities will revolt and splinter, following their new AI leader.
Great Library entry[]
Although in the 26th century, the discovery of mind control opened new avenues for governmental control, inevitably, the early projects to control human labor and productivity failed. Despite using mind control to exercise dominion over people's desires to chat, surf the Net, and sometimes just plain old goof off, mind control was not effective at maintaining productivity under more extreme conditions such as fire or physical pain. The AI Entity solved this. With a versatile and adaptable system, the AI Entity linked each of its human cells through an embedded control chip. At the first sign of discontent, the AI Entity could send gentle electrical impulses to the chip resulting in a pleasant numbing sensation and a desire to do whatever the AI Entity deemed efficient. Productivity skyrocketed and psychiatry plummeted as happiness was just an electrical impulse away.
Trivia[]
The wonder movie appears to have been inspired by HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
