For over two decades, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty has been misinterpreted as a story centered on artificial intelligence, but creator Hideo Kojima clarifies that it addresses broader themes of digital society and the permanence of information. He emphasizes that the game explores the impact of an interconnected world, where data shapes identity and behavior.
