Representations of AI in Popular Culture
Public
I'm doing a lot of research these days around popular and/or mainstream articulations of AI and/or semtech generally, both in the past and in the present. I'm particularly looking at how these representations have or have not made their way into our DNA in terms of how we think about (and what we expect from) technology, and whether these representations can be used effectively (or in the converse, should be avoided altogether) when it comes to the task of meaningfully and effectively bringing AI and semtech to mainstream Web users.
Please contribute anything that you think is relevant! I know that this is an area of interest for a lot of you.

Evolution of BotsThis high gloss German commercial for Saturn cars is wonderful eye candy. Everything I've seen in technology convinces me that autonomous robots are an inevitability. And once launched, self-guided robots will no doubt "evolve" -- although not by natural selection.

What Comes After Minds?The human mind is the most complex thing we know. We feel this intuitively. But complexity is hard to measure.
