AI Wars is a turn-based AI empire simulation where you’re not just training models, you’re building an entire artificial intelligence conglomerate. Inspired by classics like Dope Wars, the game turns the rise of AI into a high-stakes strategy loop of investing, expanding, and surviving market swings.
