The Artificial Intelligence University is located in Zwangzug: it is probably the most well-known of the country's universities and colleges.
Academics
As the name implies, the AIU's core focus is exploring and developing artificial intelligence technology. Professor Emeritus Egbert B. Gebstadter leads this process. The most successful products of this research are the many robotic inhabitants of Plutoni. But the university also offers other areas of study, though they are not as emphasized. Students are often found "debating the merits of various civil and political rights": utopian dreams of a society ruled by just (meaning fair, but also solely) computers are common. Other students use the laboratories for programming games in which users make policy decisions for virtual nations (probably imitations of Mary Backs' "StateNations".
Campus Life
Students enjoy the beautiful shores of the Deep Blue Lake, on which the campus is located. Two of the university's most notable former students are Alan Babbage and Charles Turing: after expressing boredom with tossing plastic disks around and anger that fishing was prohibited, Babbage suggested that the country find another type of athletics: specifically, football. Turing volunteered to lead programming efforts for a coach: in lieu of a thesis, he and Professor Gebstadter collaborated to create BOB 64. They are now reporters for Zwangzug Broadcasting, covering the team: after realizing that Babbage and Turing were unlikely to to complete their studies, the regents granted them honorary degrees. The practice of "tossing plastic disks around", however, became increasingly organized after their departure. AIU senior Jennifer Rogness is one of the best players on the collegiate all-star Ultimate team.
Algebraic English is widely spoken on campus, but many researchers are attempting to make the computers more receptive to descriptive. Red Knight's Time of Your Death is a tradition at graduations. The school's motto is "R-R8"; its mascot is the Sparks, and the school colors are white and silver.
