Artificial Intelligence List – v2.3
\n -Apr 6 1990-<\/p>\n
This file contains a list of novels and stories which contain
\n one or more Artificial Intelligence (AI) characters. Most of
\n characters whose intelligence places a title on this list are
\n effected or affected through the use of hardware, software or
\n genetic alteration (rarely). Additions and corrections would
\n be most appreciated as the list compiler has
\n not read all of the works listed here – or even a significant
\n portion, and will probably never have a chance to do so. My
\n thanks to Dan Bloch and Robert Stanley for suggestions, ideas
\n and editing. The list uses the following AI definitions:<\/p>\n
A androids – robots in human form
\n C computer systems – intelligent stationary computers or networks
\n H humans in computerized\/program\/digitized form
\n N non-mechanical, human created intelligences – usually biological
\n O other intelligences – intelligent tanks, books, planets, whatever
\n P programs – intelligent entities able to move between computer systems
\n R robots – mobile, usually mechanical AIs
\n S ships – intelligent; only mobile in the form of a (star)ship
\n Y cyborgs – born human, almost completely replaced by machine parts
\n * new\/improved – information has changed since last edition<\/p>\n
e evolved – any of the AI forms which evolved their intelligences<\/p>\n
\t(expanded definitions are listed at the end of the list)<\/p>\n

expanded definitions:<\/p>\n
All of the following should be able to pass the Turing test,
\n and should be\/have been (at the minimum in their original
\n forms) products of human or alien intelligence. “Standard”
\n definitions of intelligence apply.<\/p>\n
androids (A) – robots in humanoid form, these can be mechanical
\n and\/or organic (_Do androids Dream of Electric Sheep_).
\n computer systems (C) – these range in size and type from a
\n fair sized mini computer (_Ariel_) to an planetary
\n computer (_Colossus_) to a galactic network with one
\n single mind (_Speaker for the Dead_).
\n humans in computerized\/program\/digitized form (H) – these tend
\n to be copies of people which only exist in computerized
\n form – such as the hacker in (_Neuromancer_) and folks of
\n City Memory in (_Eon_).
\n non-mechanical, human created intelligences (N) – beings
\n which have been (in most cases) genetically altered or
\n are biological (_Blood Music_). NOT forced evolution
\n however.
\n other intelligences (O) – beings which are difficult to
\n categorize: anything Berserker, tanks, books, planets,
\n planets (Asimov’s Gaia), satellites, etc. Where (O) is
\n used, the particular form has also been named when known.
\n programs (P) – able to move independently from one computer
\n system to another, usually created by a program(mer)
\n (_The Adolescence or P1_).
\n robots (R) – constitute functional and specialized beings
\n which are mobile and are not (S) or (P). Anything between
\n vaguely humanoid (Dr. Who’s Cybermen) and computers on
\n wheels (R2D2) can be considered robots of the ‘functional’
\n robot class. ‘Specialized’ robots are those which are
\n geared\/optimized to performing one job – they can look like
\n either androids (The Terminator) or functional robots (Val’s
\n from _Pirates of the Thunder_).
\n ships\/computer systems (S) – essentially an (A) which is
\n only mobile in the form of a (star) ship (_Pirates of the
\n Thunder_). However, there are cases where the (S) is
\n essentially a well programmed (R) which is only mobile
\n as stated (_The Number of the Beast_).
\n cyborgs\/mechanical humans (Y) – strictly speaking these are not
\n AI. The definition here is that the (Y) is either (1) a human
\n brain in control of a computer system\/star ship (_The Ship
\n Who Sang_) where at the very least the person’s brain has
\n been modified to contain computerized parts (_The Rapture
\n Effect?_) (Did you ever wish that you could have a math
\n co-processor?). (Y)’s are NOT (for the purpose of this
\n list) organic beings whose natural body parts have been
\n replaced by mechanical ones (ie. Luke Skywalker after
\n his forearm was severed, or bionic people).
\n unsure\/no idea (?) – just what it says, so someone PLEASE read
\n it and tell me what type is is and whether it belongs here.
\n evolved AI being (e) – usually begin as man-made devices
\n which then develop intelligence on their own (_Valentina_).<\/p>\n
