The emergence of Artificial Souls meant that unmanned technology could be developed in the future, equipped with fully artificial intelligence. This would play a pivotal role in society's development.
However, after observing them, Seijiro Kikuoka discovered that the Artificial Souls they had introduced had always been far too well-behaved. That was why they had ultimately decided to have Seiya and Kirito guide them.

The company that had developed "UW" was called "RATH," but a corporate spy within the company had exposed information regarding the Soul Translator system.
