Talk:Artificial intelligence in fiction

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 – open access, I think – 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) 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 – not that I'm at all clear, so far, about where this might be leading, if anywhere... — 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. 2603:7000:39F0:8EC0:642A:EFC0:66A8:E514 (talk) 03:27, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

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. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 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 – not a merger – is appropriate. — Protalina (talk) 07:15, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

I agree with @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. Lijil (talk) 23:12, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
