With Monopoly recently announcing that there will be an updated Oxford game we asked Artificial Intelligence (AI) what should make the board.
The city first had its own Monopoly board in 2001 but the game was discontinued years ago.
Now Oxford will get a new version and the board game is looking for suggestions for what properties should be included this time.

As Monopoly begin to choose what makes the cut, ChatGPT suggested a list of locations for every colour set on a Monopoly board.
We used the following prompt: "If you were making a Monopoly game board for Oxford, which locations would you pick for each colour? Pick three locations for each colour."
The new technology has shocked the world through its responsive and remarkably thoughtful responses.
Surprisingly, the Ashmolean Museum, the game’s most expensive square in 2001, has been chosen by ChatGPT for the games cheapest street.

When asked why it had chosen each Monopoly location, ChatGPT said: "I have chosen these locations based on their popularity and significance in Oxford.
"For example, I have chosen the Covered Market, Ashmolean Museum, and Carfax Tower for the brown-colored properties because these are some of the most visited and well-known locations in Oxford.
"Similarly, I have chosen Oxford Castle, The Radcliffe Camera, and The Sheldonian Theatre for the pink-colored properties as they are landmarks in the city and a popular tourist destination.
"For the green-colored properties, I have picked the Oxford Canal, the Thames Path, and Shotover Country Park because they are popular spots for outdoor activities and provide a refreshing change from the city's hustle and bustle.
"I have also chosen Blenheim Palace, The Bodleian Library, and Magdalen College, among others, to showcase the rich history and culture of Oxford, making the game more interesting for players who are interested in the city's heritage.
"Overall, I have tried to pick a good mix of well-known landmarks and hidden gems to ensure that players have a fun and varied experience playing the game."
