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. When Lowe Technologies was sold to Omni Consumer Products, S.A.I.N.T. was placed on the backburner of OCP’s development slate after The Fall in the unfortunate climate for AI development.
When OCP was facing backruptcy 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 civic management artificial general 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. The Old Man put even more demands on rushing S.A.I.N.T. into production.
Shortly after coming online, S.A.I.N.T. was partially infected by the pre-fall military 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 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 unveiled during the opening cermony of Delta City, the Legion AI had taken complete control over S.A.I.N.T. and had destroyed the AGI.
