[Crane]

What are some games that investigate the consequences of artificial intelligence?

Games about artificial intelligence in a general sense are okay too.

What are some games that investigate the consequences of artificial intelligence?

You're better served with books (both fiction and non-fiction). Lots of games have AIs as enemies (e.g. System Shock), but I'm not sure I would call that a serious exploration of the consequences of AI

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream by Cyberdreams, adapted from the short story by Harlan Ellison with his cooperation.

Damn straight.

What are some games that investigate the consequences of artificial intelligence?

I don't know if you're dead set on the consequences of using AI, but if you just want some game about AI, then there's the game literally called:

It's about a world inhabited by AI, no intelligent life forms are present.

And there's a sequel:

And a spin off racing game:

And yet another sequel is in production currently.

MegaMan Battle Network. More that overly networked everything is an invitation for cyber-terrorism than AI, but AI is a big part of it.

 

[Peachcurl]

Deus Ex.

Also, most games investigate the consquences of NOT having any kind of decent AI. Unintentionally.

Very famously, the web game Universal Paperclip , designed around the Paperclip Maximizer thought experiment by AI expert Bostrom.

It even has its own wikipedia page, as anyone interested in AI knows the game :

For a more classical game, ShadowRun : DragonFall is incidently about AI. And a dragon.

In these two you are the AI, the consequences are up to you. Both IF.

A Mind Forever Voyaging
https://www.myabandonware.com/game/a-mind-forever-voyaging-59

The player controls PRISM, the world's first sentient computer, in the year 2031. The economy of the United States of North America is failing. Great numbers of youths are turning to "Joybooths" and committing suicide by overstimulation. A new arms race involving nuclear weapons threatens to turn the USNA into a police state.
Dr. Abraham Perelman explains that he has awakened PRISM so a vital mission can be performed: running a simulation of a revitalization plan. The plan calls for "renewed national purpose" through de-regulation of government and industry, military conscription, a unilateral approach to diplomatic relations, trade protectionism, and a return to traditional and fundamental values. While in simulation mode, Perry is able to record experiences in a buffer which will be analyzed to evaluate the success of the plan.

I am not sure whether it is AMAZING but boy is it addictive. Just mentionning it made me restart a run, which ruined my productivity for the day.

I've started playing the Skynet Simulator game at the same time, and now I'm wondering what's going to destroy Earth first: killbots or the United Paperclip Reclamation Corporation.

I don't want to spoil, but one of those two has more ambition than just the Earth.

That had a Devo soundtrack?!

Deus Ex Machina, a game where you' guide an AI who goes through all the stages of life...I think. For all the praise it gets, I've never played it and it seems unclear from the description what the player is guiding.
Galatea, more of an art game than a real game. You talk with an animate statue and then an ending happens. Its interesting, with quite a bit of clever stuff thrown in, but its also clear how limited Galatea is early on.

Very

It was nice...for PC speaker.
