Introversion playing with fire with unbeatable DEFCON AI

Apparently having learned nothing from Hollywood history, indie developers Introversion have put out a public call for AI students to create an unbeatable computer opponent who can mutually assure total destruction in their serenely-terrifying 2006 real-time wargame DEFCON.

The fab-four have been working with The Imperial College Department of Computing and API creator Robin Baumgarten (interviewed here on the subject) to push the development of DEFCON AI in academic study, and Baumgarten has made the that API publicly available inviting everyone to, as Introversion put it (to our horror), "write the most efficient killing machine."
