ETHICO


VIDEO GAME - 2024

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. Many use it daily and see it as humanities greatest invention,
other scream impeding doom. However, for how present it is, there is noticeable lack of
understanding and little talk about meaningful regulation.

Ethico is a game designed to confront the player with their own opinion on AI Ethics and the
surrounding dilemmas. Drawing on a large qualitative research on how the Views and Opinions on

Artificial Intelligence are shaped by ones own understanding of the technicalities behind it, Ethico
aims to make this connection visible as well as provide education around the topic. Further will it
give a guide into ones personal position in the debate surrounding AI

The Player is an intern at a tech startup, tasked with helping clients regulate their AI Products.
During this he meets a multitude of characters whom he can interact with freely. Max, the
manager however seems very busy, compared to Olivia, the helpful research assistant, always
eager to answer all questions surrounding AI. How the players decisions influence their behavior
and the further process of the game is left to be discovered.
