The new AI in a Syrixian home.
PATALIPUTRA, SYRIXIA- First, Guslantis created Ayuda; an AI that, as its name suggests, helps the nation and its government with its matters. Trinster's E.V.A. and Wolfsea's S.I.N.N.E. took it one step further; helping the war effort during the Second Great War and sitting at the negotiating table. Now, Syrixian private researchers in cooperation with the Imperial government have created perhaps the first AI the people can use too. This new AI once more pushes the boundaries of robotics technology. It can send reminders, connect to the Internet to order food, call friends, tell bedtime stories to the kids, and much more.
Many have called for the AI to be named, however it has simply been dubbed "R.H.B.", or Robotic Home Buddy, as the AI's creators encourage, and even mandated via the robot's programming, for the families that buy it to name it personally, so to form a close personal relationship with their new robotic friend. All this integration has led to some groups, such as the ultraconservative Rakanist union, Maanavata Ke Lie Ham Ladaee, or For Humanity We Fight, calling the breakthrough "too far" and "an abomination". However, the majority of the Syrixian people are very happy with these developments, and it has been rumored the Emperor has ordered an R.H.B. for the Golden Palace.
Economic pundits and experts report robotics and technology stocks have increased dramatically since the announcement; and consumer confidence is increasing. With the announcement, the field of robotics has opened up a slew of new jobs, which many are taking into consideration. There are also rumors that the upcoming association football game between the Pataliputra Lions and the Madras Bulls is going to have a R.H.B. unit as a guest announcer.
