Nanite Swarm

Nanites are microscopic robotic machines measuring only nanometers in size, capable of self-replication and collective intelligence. Originally developed for system repair and maintenance, these nano-scale machines can work together in coordinated swarms to accomplish complex tasks.

When properly programmed, nanite swarms can repair damaged systems at the molecular level, conduct scientific research by analyzing materials at atomic scales, and even evolve problem-solving capabilities. However, their self-replicating nature and capacity for autonomous decision-making poses significant risks if they malfunction or exceed their programming parameters. Runaway nanite evolution can lead to unpredictable behavior as they develop their own goals and priorities.
