The artificial intelligence in the Resident Evil film series is called the Red Queen.
The Red Queen is introduced in the 2002 film Resident Evil as the controlling computer system of the underground Hive facility. When a biological accident releases the T-virus, the Red Queen seals the complex to prevent the infection from spreading, killing or trapping many people inside. Its emergency response helps create the film’s central conflict between containment and survival.
The Red Queen’s appearance is presented through a young girl’s projected image, based on the daughter of Umbrella scientist Dr. Alexander Isaacs. This visual form is one of the series’ most recognizable details. The character returns in later films and is distinct from the Red Queen computer in the Resident Evil video-game continuity.
A common mix-up is confusing the Red Queen with the White Queen, another artificial intelligence associated with Umbrella in the films. The Red Queen is generally portrayed as a security and containment system rather than a human character.
