I have read many threads where players express their displeasure with the strategy shortcomings of the AI.

This morning I started thinking - could we write our own AI?

There are some gifted programmers who have already written some excellent utilities (such as mapfinder), so I am quite sure someone could access the information from the game.

I could see a hotseat game where the new AI would look like a human player to the game, and would control the moves like a human, the difference being that the new AI program would control the moves.

Any thoughts on this? I would like to know if it is technically feasible before I start thinking about how the new AI would work.
 
That approach would probably work. You could also do it by having the AI change the Save files.
