Games A new company called AIseek announced what it describes as the world's first dedicated processor for artificial intelligence. Called the Intia Processor, the AI chip would work in conjunction with optimized titles to improve nonplayer character AI. Similar to the way in which physics accelerators can make a game's environment look much more realistic, Intia would make the NPCs act more true to life. There goes yet another PCI slot.

This will be swallowed up by the military quietly, because this sort of thing (if it works reliably, and faster than anything they can come up with) is worth lives and a huge amount of money in reducing loss of hardware assets, if they can figure out a way to feed it the required data (which I suspect they can do readily enough, with the aid of drones, though it still won't be perfect, due to the fog of war).
