Validity: Invalid for nations without the Space program policy.
The @@DENONYM@@ Space Program has created an AI that is able to process simulations that have been tested to have a highly probable outcome. As this revelation spreads across @@NAME@@ like wildfire, a group of experts have barged into your office and are now awaiting your stance on what more can this AI be useful for.
Option 1. "This is AMAZING!", bellows out lead scientist @@RANDOMNAME@@ donning @@HIS@@ lab coat, with so many burn marks and unknown chemicals on it that the firefighters stand right behind @HIM@@. "And I won't let these buffoons ruin it! @@LEADER@@, we're better off using this only for scientific exploration and discovery. It's still a prototype, and who knows what this thing could unleash! It may raise the taxes a little to make this work, but surely the people of @@NAME@@ could spare for the chartering of the unknown!"
Result: Complex artificial intelligences simulate the likeliness of tax revolts.
Option 2. "You've got to be kidding me!", shouts back General @@RANDOMNAME@@. "There's more to that than just seeing a bunch of white dots! Imagine the possibilities! If you give the military some more funding, we may be able to tweak this simulation - and we'll be able to predict even our rivals most secretive orders!"
Result: The Wars Star Prequel Trilogy has been a box office success.
Option 3. "Alright, let me get this straight. These buffoons want to use this AI for the military and space? That's illogical." says renowned economist @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Just imagine, our glorious workers of the glorious revolution toiling away on the seeds of our glorious nation. If we get this glorious AI to do this for OUR country, our glorious workers will be available to spread the seeds of our glorious revolution. Don't get my glorious idea? We get this glorious AI to plan the economy for us. Think about it, more hands to take down those capitalist pigs! Oh and, if you really want - be sure to up my paycheck."
Option validity: Invalid for nations without the socialism policy.
Result: Millions of @@CURRENCY@@ go missing under magical circumstances in the new AI-planned economy.
Adds policy: AI Planned Economy
Option 4. "Hey! Listen to my idea! What about we use this 'simulation' and 'AI' to seek the probability of our glorious creator!" says the radical priest @@RANDOMNAME@@ of one of the major religions in @@NAME@@. "This thing could really help us out to seek the path of the divine! It may be a bit unorthodox and my fellow clergy may not approve of this, but it's a direct way to seek the blessing of our creator! And @@LEADER@@, if the simulation says otherwise - make sure to keep it under wraps."
Result: 'NOT ENOUGH DATA' has become a nationwide sensation.
Option 5. "Impossible! AI is a scourge! Imagine the far future; where some 'devout' citizens of our country bow down to this monstrosity!", says the more orthodox preist @@RANDOMNAME@@. "This AI is clearly evil and an abomination! I implore you to get rid of this AI, and computers themselves!"
Adds policy: No Computers
Result: Old is the new trend.
