About A.I.
"Artificial Intelligence", or "AI" for short refers to programs that are able to act independently of a user. AI-controlled characters automatically act based on their programming, and are often used to run NPCs.

Vagrant AIs (also called "Wandering AIs") are AIs that act outside of CC Corp's programming. Some are allegedly created by hackers for fun or to cause problems, but it's much more likely that they are born from the Black Box itself. Particularly in the early days of The World, contact with Vagrant AIs could cause corruption of PC data. Regardless of origin, Vagrant AIs are targeted for destruction by the administration.

While a few Vagrant AIs are able to exist on their own, many cannot, and continuously search for "The End", or the trigger that will end their program and lay them to rest.

Occasionally, A.I. become too powerful to be deleted, and usually end up causing massive damage to the system within The World.

To solve the problem of these A.I., the staff at CC created the Twilight Bracelet and gave it to the strongest players who bested the most powerful dungeon of The World.

Several A.I. still exist, although many have been deleted over the years.

Most A.I. are created and live in The Network, but some are born in Netslum or other locations outside the main system. Many A.I. in the Network perform important functions to keep The World running, although several are Data Bugs that cause corruption to the system.

Out-of-character description:

Almost any A.I. that shows sentience is run by a player. For the sake of immersion, several players do not admit this within game. Players act as A.I. to progress the story of The World. Although there are certain abnormalities that look like A.I. caused them, they are usually caused by a bug or glitch.
