Now, the logical question would be, why would two AI want to stop AI from wiping out mankind and ruling the world? The answer has everything to do with how AI work in this fictional world.<\/p>\n In Vivy<\/em>, AI don\u2019t run on Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics<\/a>. Rather, it was found that the best way to create a stable AI was to have it focus on a single goal. It would then exist solely for this goal. Vivy\u2019s is to \u201cmake everyone happy by singing.\u201d Thus, everything she says or does is based solely around making this come true.<\/p>\n It is also important to point out that while AI have only one primary goal, they are capable of adding secondary ones. These secondary goals are decided on by the AI itself and are designed to help with performing the main goal. For example, Matsumoto\u2019s main goal is to stop the robot apocalypse. To best do this, he has the secondary goal of keeping everything as close to his original timeline as possible\u2014except for key events. This is why he goes into stasis between these singularity points in time: so he can\u2019t affect things even accidentally.<\/p>\n All this leads to us getting an android who is supposed to be singing in a theme park working as an agent to stop the extinction of mankind. In Vivy\u2019s case specifically, the key thing to note about her mission is its built-in ambiguity. \u201cEveryone\u201d implies \u201call humans.\u201d Of course, for a human to be able to become happy by her songs, that person must be alive. Thus, if her actions can save human lives, she will do so\u2014it is in direct compliance with her main goal and works perfectly as a secondary one.<\/p>\n Moreover, her AI nature gives her a wider viewpoint on the whole situation. As AI are technically immortal, time is not really a factor. It doesn\u2019t matter how long it takes Vivy to achieve her goal\u2014or even if she ever achieves it at all. All that matters is that she constantly works to make it come true. Likewise, it doesn\u2019t matter if the lives she is saving are in the present or won\u2019t be born for 100 years: dead people can\u2019t enjoy her songs.<\/p>\n What\u2019s interesting is that Vivy has begun to grow in unexpected ways over the course of the series so far. In the second episode, she refuses to install combat programs as they could negatively affect her as a singer. However, by the fourth episode, she demands they be installed. Such an action can only be attributed to Vivy\u2019s personal guilt for the death of her first fan, Momoka. To save Momoka\u2019s sister, she seems to put her secondary goals ahead of her first, however briefly. This shows that AI can grow beyond their stated goal\u2014or at least choose to interpret it in ways that best match with their own personal wants and needs.<\/p>\n This is seen even more clearly with the twin AI Estella and Elizabeth. Identical in make and model, both were designed to be \u201clife keepers.\u201d However, while Estella chose to interpret that as taking care of all the humans within her reach, Elizabeth (due to her much more tragic existence) chose to focus on keeping only a single human alive and happy\u2014and was perfectly willing to kill thousands of other humans in pursuit of this goal.<\/p>\n So while we\u2019ve seen how AI work and know that the \u201cone mission\u201d rule for creating AI is still in existence in Matsumoto\u2019s time, that leaves one big question. How were the AI able to completely overcome their human-serving goals and begin the human genocide? That\u2019s the big mystery looming over the series\u2014and one that Vivy herself might hold the answer to at the end of her 100-year journey through time.<\/p>\n Vivy -Fluorite Eye’s Song-<\/em> can be seen on Funimation<\/a>, Wakanim<\/a> (EU), and AnimeLab<\/a> (AU\/NZ).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Ex-Z6muUYAQ3igs.jpg?w=700&ssl=1\")
