Hi!

I know most of You probably donīt know the AI Challenge card (German
Promo: Kuenstliche Intelligenz). In brief, it can only be fought by
present Deckers and has a 3/10 threat rating, being a Matrix Challenge,
no sleaze requirements.
My question is, does Camo work on it, and how would it work?
a) Does the user have to fight?
b) Can he sleaze the AI?
c) Does he fight without taking damage?
As far as Iīve thought it over, the AI could only be defeated by using a
Decker with high attack value (i.e. Tiny) and giving him a gun with
Burst - and then making a good die roll.
I donīt really like this solution, since itīs just not logical to shoot
an Artificial Intelligence with a gun, unless youīd fire at its
mainboard - but an AI wouldnīt make its mainboard susceptible to such an
attack, or it wouldnīt deserve the "I".
