    I’m not familiar with a lot of these, but isn’t Robocop technically not AI? I thought he still had a human brain, which was the entire point of turning cops into cyborgs instead of making androids from scratch.

    Also, while I’m happy to see that they included The Machine from Person of Interest, I’m a little disappointed they didn’t include her antagonist, Samaritan. It’s a shame that series ended up getting a rushed ending, it was really good up until that point. It was still pretty decent, just kinda… well, rushed.

      Indeed!
      Also I found it a little sad that Star Trek has so many megalomaniac AIs, including Landru, Nomad and V’Ger, and the best the maker could come up with was 1 AI … from Discovery.

        And of the AI’s in Discovery they picked the generic megalomaniac rather than the ship that likes watching Audrey Hepburn films.

        Also they added Data but no Lore.

        And no Isaac from the Orwell, who IMO was one of the best written AIs out there, managing to be somehow both warm and cold.

    Talos not mentioned despite being the first AI in fiction, and robocop somehow making the list despite not being an AI.

    Speaks to the quality of the design work in 2001 A Space Odyssey that its AI (HAL, and SAL too for 2010) needed little stylisation in this work and still visually stands out amongst all of the others.

    One of my favorite AI is from Peter Watts’ “Starfish” because the reader sees the AI grow into itself as it progresses from a self-learning computer virus.

      “Artificial Intelligence” is a noun phrase, so the proper pluralization is “Artificial Intelligence” + “-(e)s” -> “Artificial Intelligences”
