Eliza Cassan

She is the celebrity-like Picus TV Network newsreader that appears in the E3 trailer. Adam Jensen must visit the location of this TV network during one of his missions. The Picus TV newsreader is somehow involved. She appears to be an artificial intelligence, perhaps a precursor to the Illuminati Artificial Intelligence seen in Deus Ex.

ELIZA was a computer program, written by Joseph Weizenbaum between 1964 to 1966, an early example (by modern standards) of primitive natural language processing. ELIZA operated by processing users' responses to scripts, the most famous of which was DOCTOR, a simulation of a Rogerian psychotherapist. Using almost no information about human thought or emotion, DOCTOR sometimes provided a startlingly human-like interaction.
