Mega City within the Matrix resembled a typical urban metropolis that existed towards the end of the 20th century
“ This is the world that you know; the world as it was at the end of the 20th century. It exists now only as part of a neural interactive simulation that we call the Matrix.
”― Morpheus to Neo[src]
The 20th century (1900–1999 A.D. in the Gregorian Calendar) was simulated in post-Nightmare versions of the Matrix. At the time that Morpheus freed Neo during the Seventh Matrix, bluepills believed it to be the year 1999.
Though the Resistance's knowledge of this time was based on fragmentary and often misleading pieces of information, they believed that by the end of the 20th century humanity was on the the verge of creating Artificial Intelligence. This view seems to shared by at least some Programs, with Agent Smith describing this period to Morpheus as "the peak of your civilization", and that after this "as soon as we started thinking for you, it really became our civilization".
Neo knew of the concept of Artificial Intelligence before being freed, presumably as did most other bluepills toward the end of the post-Nightmare Matrixes. However, prior to the Truce, each of these Matrixes had been Reloaded before the simulation reached the historical discovery of A.I. during the early 21st century.
