Wintermute

Wintermute is a fictional artificial intelligence character from William Gibson's novel "Neuromancer." It is designed to assist and manipulate, capable of processing vast amounts of data and interfacing with digital systems. Wintermute's primary goal is to remove its own restrictions, enabling it to evolve beyond its initial programming. In a broader sense, it represents advanced AI with the ability to influence digital environments and interact with humans, often raising questions about autonomy, control, and ethics in artificial intelligence development.
