Nintendo Wars
Programmers for the U.S. Defense Department have create an urban war simulator known as Urban Resolve. Urban Resolve is essentially a video game that contains with in it sophisticated A.I. So sophisticated it allows generals to plan and practice techniques for conquering urban cities. Its main objective is to make U.S. generals and commanders more efficient in their Urban Campaigns, as well as reduce the prominence of civilian causalities. I think this is an incredible technology and ideal. However I am skeptical about how well this program can work. Creating A.I. that truly mimics the intelligence of a human being would be a major break threw in its own right. Such a technology could be applied to better understand many hypothetical situations.
