Sci-Fi Artificial Intelligence
A common way for normal people (who are not specialists in artificial-intelligence) to imagine artificial-intelligence is to imagine an android — a robot that looks like and behaves like a human.
Although androids are definitely a type of artificial-intelligence — in reality artificial-intelligence is broader than, and even includes things that are much much much simpler than, androids.
But this (non-specialist) lay-person concept of artificial-intelligence as an android pervasive. In fact, it is so pervasive that it (also) get expressed in science-fiction fictional-worlds. Some examples of this includes:
- Adam Link from I, Robot,
- Alpha 5 from Power Rangers,
- Astro Boy (also known as Mighty Atom) from the fictional-world of the same name — Astro Boy,
- the B.A.T.s from G.I. Joe,
- B.O.B. from The Black Hole,
- Busking (also known as Big Boss (빅보스)) from Tobot (변신자동차 또봇),
- C-3PO from Star Wars,
- Cosmos from Transformers,
- the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica,
- Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation,
- B-9 from Lost in Space,
- Gort from The Day the Earth Stood Still,
- HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey,
- Johnny 5 from Short Circuit,
- K-2SO from Star Wars,
- Maximillian from The Black Hole,
- Metalhead from Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT),
- R2-D2 from Star Wars,
- Ravage from Transformers,
- the Replicators from Stargate SG-1,
- the various robots from The Rocket City (شهر موشکی)
- Rosey from The Jetsons,
- Soundwave from Transformers,
- Swerve from Transformers,
- Tik-Tok from Oz,
- The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager,
- The Dummy from A Clever Dummy,
- Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century,
- Ultron from Marvel Comics,
- V.I.N.CENT from The Black Hole,
- and many many many others.
There are large number of these types of conceptions of artificial-intelligence in science-fiction fictional-worlds! (We have only listed a very small number of them.)
This fascination with robots and androids goes way beyond sci-fi. Humans have been fascinated with robots for a very very long time!
