====== Fiction relevant to AI futurism ======

// Published 12 April, 2021; last updated 12 October, 2021 //

<HTML>
<p>This page is an incomplete collection of fiction about the development of advanced AI, and the consequences for society.</p>
</HTML>



===== Details =====


<HTML>
<p>Entries are generally included if we judge that they contain enough that is plausible or correctly evocative to be worth considering, in light of AI futurism.</p>
</HTML>


<HTML>
<p>The list includes:</p>
</HTML>


<HTML>
<ol>
<li><div class="li">works (usually in draft form) belonging to our <a data-id="2985" data-type="post" href="/doku.php?id=featured_articles:ai_vignettes_project">AI Vignettes Project</a>. These are written with the intention of incrementally improving their realism via comments. These are usually in commentable form, and we welcome criticism, especially of departures from realism.
                </div></li>
<li><div class="li">works created for the purpose of better understanding the future of AI</div></li>
<li><div class="li">works from mainstream entertainment, either because they were prominent or recommended to us.<span class="easy-footnote-margin-adjust" id="easy-footnote-1-2893"></span><span class="easy-footnote"><a href="#easy-footnote-bottom-1-2893" title='We collected traditional fictional works via requests on social media, &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/KatjaGrace/status/1390544320525070338"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/katja.grace/posts/926632485955"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;'><sup>1</sup></a></span></div></li>
</ol>
</HTML>


<HTML>
<p>The list can be sorted and filtered by various traits that aren’t visible by default (see top left options). For instance:</p>
</HTML>


<HTML>
<ul>
<li><div class="li">
<strong>Type</strong>, i.e. being mainstream entertainment, futurism, or specifically from our <a data-id="2985" data-type="post" href="/doku.php?id=featured_articles:ai_vignettes_project">Vignettes Project</a>, as described above.
                </div></li>
<li><div class="li"><strong>Relevant themes</strong>, e.g. ‘failure modes’ or ‘largeness of mindspace’</div></li>
<li><div class="li"><strong>Scenario categories</strong>, e.g. ‘fast takeoff’, ‘government project’, ‘brain emulations’</div></li>
<li><div class="li"><strong>Recommendation rating</strong>: this is roughly how strongly we recommend the piece for people wanting to think about the future of AI. It takes into account a combination of realism, tendency to evoke some specific useful intuition, ease of reading. It is very rough and probably not consistent.</div></li>
</ul>
</HTML>
