What a chapter that was? Easily one of the best we have ever had. I want to focus on a specific reveal, about the AI, and "That Man".
This page has most of the information revealed to us.
The things that are implied or clearly stated in this page: The AI is running using a human brain (I am not sure about that, the way it is shown could be misleading), The AI is in some ways limited compared to a human brain, but in many ways comparable to it. It has the ability to break it's limiter. The incomplete version has been stolen, is referred to as "He" and is implied to be able to break it's limiter.
From what we currently know, the AI isn't either good, or evil by nature, and can be compared to a human.
Who could "That man" be? He is clearly linked with the Machine Gods, and is targeting Dr. Bofoi. The AI could be serving him or working with him.
Possibility 1) "That man" is a new character we haven't seen yet, and the incomplete AI refers only to the Machine Gods. Alternatively, Drive knight, who is probably not piloted by a human, could be the AI. He is also targeting Dr. Bofoi. This is a bit boring, and I hope it is not true.
Possibility 2) "That man" is Dr. Kuseno. He has secretly made the Machine God series, potentially even Drive Knight. He is currently faking his death. Then, the Mad cyborg was Dr. Kuseno's creation, a prototype incomplete AI that went on a rampage. Dr. Kuseno is also upgrading Genos too fast. He could have obtained the knowledge and equipment ideas from experimenting with the Machine Gods.
I do not believe that Dr. Genus could be the mastermind, as it is simply not his way. He does have a funny jar with a Boros inside it in his basement, but I don't think he is using him for much more than testing his DNA at the moment. We could see him again later, but not now.
Possibility 3) Genos is the AI. Dr Kuseno is again the man behind the Machine God organization, Drive knight is simply mislead, and Genos is not only the AI, but potentially the Mad Cyborg itself. If the AI needs a human brain to work, something I am still not exactly sure about, it could be Genos, and he could have unknowingly killed his family. If that's the case, then Dr Kuseno is playing 4d chess with time travel.
I do believe that Dr Kuseno is "That Man" or at the very least related to him. We do not know about his goals and ambitions yet. The Machine god part is feeling a bit weird, and frankly, if Genos is the AI, I do not know where Drive Knight even fits into the picture. He does seem connected thematically to the machine gods.
