Dangerous Technology?

[exodusark]

I've had a tech called Sentient AI pop up several times recently and it says it's Dangrouse tech...so does that mean when it fishes something bad will happen right away or down the line?

Sentient AI can potentially turn against you and attempt to kill all organic life on the galaxy. It's a risk but it doesn't happen that often.

It means something bad might happen down the line. Dangerous technologies can trigger a late-game crisis.

They can also piss off the "Keepers of Knowledge" type of Fallen Empire and cause them to send in the cavalry tachyon beam spamming ultra navies.

you can even purge all your organic pop in your empire and build sentient ai robots but downside you have go to each planet you own and hit build robot button damn ai wont do it when its the only option

I'm wondering if they go straight at you when you start researching a red tech?
I got one of those fallen empires in my second save and had the sentient AI pop up too but I wasn't sure if they directly go for me or not if I research it.

I think they'll first contact you and tell you "Hey. Stop that, go research something else, and we can forget about this."

If you say no, they'll likely roll in though as rejecting their demands gives a -200 opinion modifier, and they tend to declare war at -75...and I'm not sure you can get their opinion of you up to 126 even with an embassy.

Can you get AI leaders? Replace your whole empire as AI?

Yes, with Synthetic Personality Matrix, you can. And well, a proper set of ethics I don't think a spiritualist empire would allow it for example.

Yep. That's what this particular dangerous technology can do. If you don't nip it in the bud, you're done for. Synthetics outproduce and outresearch EVERYONE.

"I think" isn't comforting enough for me to risk it yet because that is my ironman save to get the achievements done to start playing with mods ... xD

Unfortunately I mostly got xenophiles while playing a friendlier race this time too, had 3 bad guys I think, one of my created species which got crushed before I even found them (recognized the home planet), one got liberated by my federation (from xenophobe to xenophile too) and one is pretty tiny by now and likely to be conquered by me to get some more ground.

At least there is another alliance of 3 empires that see me now as a threat (oops) which might consider going against us.

"Come with me if you want to live!"
"I'll be back."

"Sarah Conner?"

Dangerous AI.... never knew that AI could be dangerous.

Well I finished the research and been about 30 years in game time, nothing bad has happen did get a tech offer that wold let me give the AI ship control...that was not on my to list of death today so I said no

[Dark Thoughts]

Had conquered a couple planets with synths of an AI that researched them.
After that I got some events, the fallen empire somehow decided to attack the entire federation instead of the AI with the synths (which isn't part of the federation). Sucks a bit now because the AI wants to liberate the ring worlds so I'm staying out of that war and hope the guy who got declared war on surrenders at some point (fallen empire isn't doing anything anymore).

Anyway, quickly researched all the red techs and allowed citizen rights to the synths but it doesn't seem to progress any further I think.

Also did the Unbidden again in this save, but the portal vanished at roughly 50% and now I can't finish the event for the achievement (which doesn't unluck properly anyway as far as I can tell ...).

The bugs really are off putting.
