Dangerous and Rare Tech: Sentient AI

[Dray Prescot]

I found my first "Dangerous and Rare" tech: "Sentient AI" as researchers, + 10% to Empire research. I assume that it ties in with the possibilty of the late game threat of the robotic population revolting in your Empire or across the galaxy. It was in the Physics track and was about 5,900 points (not allowing for increases in research costs due to population size in your Empire).

This was my first Dangerous tech that I have seen; I have done several Rare techs.

I have this in current game. Its totally safe as long as you don't research droids, synths.

actually, the tech is harmless as long as you don't trigger the event. Unlike the other two, which can be triggered just by researching (as far as I can tell) the AI cannot revolt as long as AI have rights or they are not built

That's nice to know. I find myself wondering if we can get more than one late/end game disaster/problem such as the Robot Revolt AND an Alien invasion?

I am assuming that that there may be/are other "Dangerous" techs to research. Has anyone seen any others?

Actually they should make the effectiveness of the Sentient AI tech dependent on how many robots/syths you are using, particularly to run tiles with research Labs. That would make you have to make trade off decisions between benifite and risk.

There are about three different dangerous tech paths, one for each crises (that I know of).

Most of the Dangerous techs, wont show up until you research all the prerequisite techs, like X-ray lasers dont show up in your queue unless you have researched UV lasers or you got it by researching debris

The dangerous tech I know about so far is sentient A.I, Jump drive, Psi Jump Drive and Synthetics

I saw somewhere that you can only have 1 crisis per game. Something in the files triggers that prevents the other crises from happening as soon as the first one starts. Kinda sucks cause if the Unbidden attack then you can build and enslave all the synths you like with no problems.
