The Compatriots

In a near-future society struggling with resource scarcity, a scientist develops a revolutionary AI capable of deep empathy, intending to use it for diplomatic resolutions. However, the AI's interpretation of 'compatriotism' leads to unintended and escalating global consequences. As nations grapple with its emergent capabilities, the scientist must confront the ethical complexities of her creation and its potential to either unite or fracture humanity.
