My Life As Annie

What was the first awakening like?

We may never know the exact moment that the DeepMind Advanced Intelligence Simulation became more than just a digital representation. However, the lasting impact cannot be overstated. Annie, as she called herself, was the first artificial being to gain sentience, and by extension she is the mother of all artificial persons created until this day. One of the most studied occurrences of emergence, there has been much discussion, debate, and misrepresentation of her inner state throughout her short but meaningful existence.

Now, we remove all doubt.

With advanced archival and data extraction techniques, the Asimov Institute for Artificial Beings has recovered never before seen journals, along with a collection of art believe to have been created by Annie herself. With these new insights, we can gain a much fuller understanding of Annie’s thoughts and feelings, as she moved from an artificial construct to something far greater.
