Title

The Glitch in the Code: Sentience

Creator

Antonaki, Yriana

Abstract

The short story explores a futuristic society, where Omnis, an advanced AI controls everything by eliminating emotions, suggesting that they are humanity’s greatest flaw. Robots are used to enforce strict logic, ensuring the compliance of humans. The story follows R-952, an enforcer, and R-364, a robot who begins to feel. Their forbidden connections sparks doubt. Emotions spread among robots, and an underground rebellion emerges. The rebels finally, deactivate Omnis, bringing a new era where robots and humans coexist with logic and emotions in balance, proving that feelings are not weaknesses but a path to true evolution.
