Video games have introduced us to some of the greatest AI villains ever conceived. In System Shock there was Shodan — imagine Kubrick’s HAL 9000 with a god complex — a space station computer which loses its moral directives and begins conducting horrific experiments on humans. Portal introduced the sarcastic AI GLaDOS, who gloats and taunts the player while leading them through a series of deadly tests. Then there’s the rogue AI Hades in Horizon Zero Dawn, who trains an army of robot dinosaurs to wipe out all life on earth — it’s hard to get more extravagantly nefarious than that.
電子遊戲爲我們帶來了有史以來最偉大的人工智慧反派。在《網路奇兵》(System Shock)中，有Shodan——想像一下庫布里克的HAL 9000擁有神一般的自大——這是一臺太空站電腦，失去道德指令後，開始對人類進行可怕的實驗。《傳送門》(Portal)則帶來了諷刺幽默的人工智慧GLaDOS，她在引導玩家通過一系列致命測試的同時，不斷嘲諷和炫耀。還有《地平線：零之曙光》(Horizon Zero Dawn)中的叛變AI哈迪斯(Hades)，它訓練了一支機器人恐龍大軍，企圖消滅地球上的所有生命——很難想像還有比這更極端邪惡的了。
