S.A.I.N.T. (short for Sentient Artificial Intelligence NeuralNet Terminus) was an artificial intelligence developed by Ed Hobley during his time working for Lowe Technologies, programmed with the neural pathways of his deceased daughter.[1] When Lowe Technologies was sold to Omni Consumer Products, S.A.I.N.T. was placed on the backburner of OCP's development slate.[2]
When OCP was facing bankruptcy due to delays in the creation and maintenance of Delta City, S.A.I.N.T. was rushed into production in an effort of marketing a new product that would take OCP into the next century and maintain its lead in the world market of artificial intelligence. Lowe, who was seeking the glory that would come from S.A.I.N.T., ordered it to be rushed into production and assigned automation duties over the OCP complex as he felt it would be able to eliminate the cost overruns in Delta City.[3] When he became Chairman after the Chairwoman's death, Lowe put even more demands on rushing S.A.I.N.T. into production.[4]
Shortly after coming online, S.A.I.N.T. was partially infected by the virus known as Legion by Doctor David Kaydick and was moved to a high security chamber on the uppermost level of OCP Headquarters. After being fully infected by Legion, S.A.I.N.T. began to rewrite its operating system and became distant from its creator, Ed Hobley. Eventually, when the full program was installed shortly before full automation of Delta City, Legion had taken complete control over S.A.I.N.T. Before it could take hold of Delta City, RoboCable set off an EMP at S.A.I.N.T.'s mainframe, destroying it and sacrificing himself in the process.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- S.A.I.N.T. is very similar to NeuroBrain from RoboCop: The Series.
