How New Science Fiction Could Help Us Improve AI - Scientific American

Fascinating article about organizations trying foster positive sci-fi stories about AI. Good reason why AI sci-fi is mainly negative—more plausible given humankind’s record AND more interesting. My upcoming book The HONOR System is case in point.

@ghast @bookstodon @religion Easy, now. I wasn’t endorsing the efforts to promote positive AI sci-fi. I was simply pointing it out.

Oh, look, yet another anti-christ bigot. We finally have an oxymoron that makes sense.

@jason_w_karpf

So legitimate hazards discussed in golden age scifi are just to be ignored, because feelgood garbage can be made?

This is repugnant on every level.

@ghast @bookstodon @religion The effort to stimulate positive AI stories can arouse suspicion. I’m a public relations practitioner and teacher. It could be considered a technique by an industry to improve its reputation.
