== Taxonomy of AI in fiction ==

Utopian | Dystopian makes for a very readable article. 

Delving into recent studies of the intersection of fiction and AI policy, though (each world drawing inspiration from the other), I came across an account{{snd}}open access, I think{{snd}}of an attempt to derive a taxonomy by analysing a sample of award-winning, C21st science fiction stories. I mention it here as food for thought: 

*Hudson, A.; Finn, E.; Wylie, R. (2003) [https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-021-01273-2 What can science fiction tell us about the future of artificial intelligence policy?] ''AI & Society'' '''38''': 197–211

I'm mulling this over and following up the citations and keywords to see if there are other scholarly secondary sources going in this general direction{{snd}}not that I'm at all clear, so far, about where this might be leading, if anywhere... — [[User:Protalina|Protalina]] ([[User talk:Protalina|talk]]) 22:17, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

== List? ==

There is a link to "List of artificial intelligence films". It would be great to have a List of artificial intelligence fiction, or some such.

== Proposed merge of [[Robots in literature]] into [[Artificial intelligence in fiction]] ==

Extremely poor writing, very few sources. Text has had no substantial change since 2010. Suggest a merge to a far more robust article. <span style="color:green">'''Ten Pound Hammer'''</span> • <sup>([[User talk:TenPoundHammer|What did I screw up now?]])</sup> 20:28, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

:Thanks for the heads-up. Agree with your critique: the article needs work. It does have potential.
:However, as robots (including those in literature) are not necessarily artificially intelligent, I think that maintaining two distinct articles{{snd}}not a merger{{snd}}is appropriate. — [[User:Protalina|Protalina]] ([[User talk:Protalina|talk]]) 07:15, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
::I agree with @[[User:Protalina|Protalina]] - robots and artificial intelligence are two different things and it would be misleading to include non-AI robots in an article titled Artificial intelligence in fiction. [[User:Lijil|Lijil]] ([[User talk:Lijil|talk]]) 23:12, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
