Who Really Has Cane’s AI Software on Young and the Restless?

On The Young and the Restless, November 11, fans finally get to the bottom of this dizzying storyline involving Cane’s AI software. Someone has it, and they’re bound to cause trouble.

Key Takeaways

Phyllis claimed to have Cane’s AI software.
Cane discovered that someone had stolen his program right under his nose.
Victor confessed to Nikki.

Might AI, Poor Security

Cane (Billy Flynn) had something powerful in his hands. He had an AI program that could take down any top company in Genoa City. Although this little tech is mighty, it has weak security. It’s similar to Victor’s (Eric Braeden) security team. Someone has stolen Cane’s AI program, and he wants to find out who is responsible.

Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) boldly declared in a public place that she had access to it, and she was going to bring down anyone’s company. She might even pull the wool over Cane’s eyes.

Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (Susan Walters) wanted to get the program from Jill (Jess Walton). Their plan was for her to leave it in their trustworthy hands, so they could take down Newman Enterprises.

And then there’s Adam (Mark Grossman), the so-called Dark Knight. He told Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) that he might have the power to take down his own father this time around.

Will the Real AI Owner Please Stand Up?

Needless to say, this storyline has gotten confusing. On Tuesday’s episode, Victor confessed to Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott). She wanted to know if he teamed up with Cane to take down Jabot.

Victor confirmed that the AI software was stolen. Jack thinks he’s behind it, but he has no idea why his long-time archnemesis would think that. Is the Victor and Jack feud on Y&R played out or soapy goodness?

Nikki demanded that Victor tell her the truth. Victor confessed to having the AI program, which Phyllis stole from Cane. She did give it to him, after all.

But now Jack is already onto him. So, how is he going to cover his steps? Victor assured Nikki that he wouldn’t let the program go loose on Jabot or Jack. He wants to use it on Cane to teach him a lesson.

Social Experiment?

It turns out this AI storyline is more of a social experiment. Victor thinks he can teach Cane a lesson by using this program to acquire Arabesque.

Meanwhile, Cane could really be the one who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes. He might be letting everyone think he doesn’t know what he’s doing. But he already has an idea of who has their hands on it.

Cane could be using the tech to see who can be trusted or not. He wants to see who’s willing to take him down, so he can appear to be the good guy. Maybe the real surprise is that the AI isn’t as powerful as he claims, and everyone’s just scrambling for power for no reason.
