As far as I know ( I am the project leader :-) no one is working on AI.
Just because AI is tagged for next release perhaps... but it would be great to 
start work right now. 

Before code we have agreed on Arianne to do designs, so you will need to write a 
small doc explaining what you are going to do and how. If you understand UML you 
can also use it.

AI is going to be VERY related to RP, so you should be in contact with RP code.

Yes, We need AI that make the world work.
But we also need that that AI can change goal and start to play the game as a 
NPC.

I will be very happy to have just AI that run roles in ALPHA 3.

My opinion is the one of 0 intervention on the world, it is up to players to fix 
players problems. But there are more opinions on Arianne. 

Anyway I would love that AI don't depend at all on human intervention.
