I love Artificial Intelligence, I actually just finished computer engineering, and did some things in that department, but I almost always end up disappointed when I try to really go deep with AI in games.
A project I had in the backburner for some time is a game like the ones by Zachtronics, where the player is asked to "program" the solution of a puzzle, with a lot of freedom. I once tried to envision a game where you design the "orders" for a military squad, almost programming without noticing, and they follow them and hopefully end up victorious. Gladiabots does something similar with quite a success.
I'd really like to make a game like that, a game that is thinking-heavy, but you're not solving puzzles, you're solving problems.

Ill decide a genre (puzzle platformer probably) and design an interface so you can "program" the player character/s. Let's see how it goes.
Good luck to all! :D
Oh it's a great idea to try and make a Zachtronics-like game. The only time I've ever seen a such thing for a jam is with @thomastc 's Leonardo's Painting Machine.
