As of yesterday, the video game ratings board began introducing computers to the job of deciding whether a game is approproate for everyone, Teens, or for Mature gamers (16+).
In the past, actual individuals rated the video games in regard to how gory or sexy they were--but because of a surge of games being released online, the Entertainment Software Ratings board has written a program designed to replicate the perceived cultural normas in society of the typical American consumer in regards to what is and is not appropriate for children.
This will be done in the form of a detailed digital questionnaire to be filled out by the game's makers (with a penalty for any nondisclosure), making it easy and more efficient for games to be deemed appropriate for nation and international markets at a time when the production of these games remains in high demand.
