Are you trying to reach lots of people and convince them AI takeover is a real threat?
In that case, you'd want to make a simple, intuitive browser/app game, maybe something like Pandemic 2.
(I don't know that game really made people more wary of pandemics, but it did so for me and people do generalize from fictional evidence.)
This would be the ideal. Like I said though, I don't think I'll be able to make it anytime soon, or (honestly) anytime ever.
But yeah, I'm trying to design it to be simple enough to play in-browser or as an app, perhaps even as a Facebook game or something. It doesn't need to have good graphics or a detailed physics simulator, for example: It is essentially a board game in a computer, like Diplomacy or Risk. (Though it is more complicated than any board game could be)
I think that the game, as currently designed, would be an excellent source of fictional evidence for the notions of AI risk and AI arms races. Those notions are pretty important. :)
