<please send any additions or comments via e-mail, thanks>
Artificial Intelligence List - v2.3
-Apr 6 1990-
This file contains a list of novels and stories which contain
one or more Artificial Intelligence (AI) characters. Most of
characters whose intelligence places a title on this list are
effected or affected through the use of hardware, software or
genetic alteration (rarely). Additions and corrections would
be most appreciated as the list compiler <Garet Sheppard> has
not read all of the works listed here - or even a significant
portion, and will probably never have a chance to do so. My
thanks to Dan Bloch and Robert Stanley for suggestions, ideas
and editing. The list uses the following AI definitions:
A androids - robots in human form
C computer systems - intelligent stationary computers or networks
H humans in computerized/program/digitized form
N non-mechanical, human created intelligences - usually biological
O other intelligences - intelligent tanks, books, planets, whatever
P programs - intelligent entities able to move between computer systems
R robots - mobile, usually mechanical AIs
S ships - intelligent; only mobile in the form of a (star)ship
Y cyborgs - born human, almost completely replaced by machine parts
* new/improved - information has changed since last edition
e evolved - any of the AI forms which evolved their intelligences
(expanded definitions are listed at the end of the list)

Things not included:
Dr. Who stuff (K-9, Daliks, Cybermen)
ST:TNG stuff (Mr. Data)
expanded definitions:
All of the following should be able to pass the Turing test,
and should be/have been (at the minimum in their original
forms) products of human or alien intelligence. "Standard"
definitions of intelligence apply.
androids (A) - robots in humanoid form, these can be mechanical
and/or organic (_Do androids Dream of Electric Sheep_).
computer systems (C) - these range in size and type from a
fair sized mini computer (_Ariel_) to an planetary
computer (_Colossus_) to a galactic network with one
single mind (_Speaker for the Dead_).
humans in computerized/program/digitized form (H) - these tend
to be copies of people which only exist in computerized
form - such as the hacker in (_Neuromancer_) and folks of
City Memory in (_Eon_).
non-mechanical, human created intelligences (N) - beings
which have been (in most cases) genetically altered or
are biological (_Blood Music_). NOT forced evolution
however.
other intelligences (O) - beings which are difficult to
categorize: anything Berserker, tanks, books, planets,
planets (Asimov's Gaia), satellites, etc. Where (O) is
used, the particular form has also been named when known.
programs (P) - able to move independently from one computer
system to another, usually created by a program(mer)
(_The Adolescence or P1_).
robots (R) - constitute functional and specialized beings
which are mobile and are not (S) or (P). Anything between
vaguely humanoid (Dr. Who's Cybermen) and computers on
wheels (R2D2) can be considered robots of the 'functional'
robot class. 'Specialized' robots are those which are
geared/optimized to performing one job - they can look like
either androids (The Terminator) or functional robots (Val's
from _Pirates of the Thunder_).
ships/computer systems (S) - essentially an (A) which is
only mobile in the form of a (star) ship (_Pirates of the
Thunder_). However, there are cases where the (S) is
essentially a well programmed (R) which is only mobile
as stated (_The Number of the Beast_).
cyborgs/mechanical humans (Y) - strictly speaking these are not
AI. The definition here is that the (Y) is either (1) a human
brain in control of a computer system/star ship (_The Ship
Who Sang_) where at the very least the person's brain has
been modified to contain computerized parts (_The Rapture
Effect?_) (Did you ever wish that you could have a math
co-processor?). (Y)'s are NOT (for the purpose of this
list) organic beings whose natural body parts have been
replaced by mechanical ones (ie. Luke Skywalker after
his forearm was severed, or bionic people).
unsure/no idea (?) - just what it says, so someone PLEASE read
it and tell me what type is is and whether it belongs here.
evolved AI being (e) - usually begin as man-made devices
which then develop intelligence on their own (_Valentina_).

Subject: Artificial Intelligence List - v2.3 (1600 lines)
<please send any additions or comments via e-mail, thanks>
Artificial Intelligence List - v2.3
-Apr 6 1990-
This file contains a list of novels and stories which contain
one or more Artificial Intelligence (AI) characters. Most of
characters whose intelligence places a title on this list are
effected or affected through the use of hardware, software or
genetic alteration (rarely). Additions and corrections would
be most appreciated as the list compiler <Garet Sheppard> has
not read all of the works listed here - or even a significant
portion, and will probably never have a chance to do so. My
thanks to Dan Bloch and Robert Stanley for suggestions, ideas
and editing. The list uses the following AI definitions:
A androids - robots in human form
C computer systems - intelligent stationary computers or networks
H humans in computerized/program/digitized form
N non-mechanical, human created intelligences - usually biological
O other intelligences - intelligent tanks, books, planets, whatever
P programs - intelligent entities able to move between computer systems
R robots - mobile, usually mechanical AIs
S ships - intelligent; only mobile in the form of a (star)ship
Y cyborgs - born human, almost completely replaced by machine parts
* new/improved - information has changed since last edition
e evolved - any of the AI forms which evolved their intelligences
(expanded definitions are listed at the end of the list)

Things not included:
Dr. Who stuff (K-9, Daliks, Cybermen)
ST:TNG stuff (Mr. Data)
expanded definitions:
All of the following should be able to pass the Turing test,
and should be/have been (at the minimum in their original
forms) products of human or alien intelligence. "Standard"
definitions of intelligence apply.
androids (A) - robots in humanoid form, these can be mechanical
and/or organic (_Do androids Dream of Electric Sheep_).
computer systems (C) - these range in size and type from a
fair sized mini computer (_Ariel_) to an planetary
computer (_Colossus_) to a galactic network with one
single mind (_Speaker for the Dead_).
humans in computerized/program/digitized form (H) - these tend
to be copies of people which only exist in computerized
form - such as the hacker in (_Neuromancer_) and folks of
City Memory in (_Eon_).
non-mechanical, human created intelligences (N) - beings
which have been (in most cases) genetically altered or
are biological (_Blood Music_). NOT forced evolution
however.
other intelligences (O) - beings which are difficult to
categorize: anything Berserker, tanks, books, planets,
planets (Asimov's Gaia), satellites, etc. Where (O) is
used, the particular form has also been named when known.
programs (P) - able to move independently from one computer
system to another, usually created by a program(mer)
(_The Adolescence or P1_).
robots (R) - constitute functional and specialized beings
which are mobile and are not (S) or (P). Anything between
vaguely humanoid (Dr. Who's Cybermen) and computers on
wheels (R2D2) can be considered robots of the 'functional'
robot class. 'Specialized' robots are those which are
geared/optimized to performing one job - they can look like
either androids (The Terminator) or functional robots (Val's
from _Pirates of the Thunder_).
ships/computer systems (S) - essentially an (A) which is
only mobile in the form of a (star) ship (_Pirates of the
Thunder_). However, there are cases where the (S) is
essentially a well programmed (R) which is only mobile
as stated (_The Number of the Beast_).
cyborgs/mechanical humans (Y) - strictly speaking these are not
AI. The definition here is that the (Y) is either (1) a human
brain in control of a computer system/star ship (_The Ship
Who Sang_) where at the very least the person's brain has
been modified to contain computerized parts (_The Rapture
Effect?_) (Did you ever wish that you could have a math
co-processor?). (Y)'s are NOT (for the purpose of this
list) organic beings whose natural body parts have been
replaced by mechanical ones (ie. Luke Skywalker after
his forearm was severed, or bionic people).
unsure/no idea (?) - just what it says, so someone PLEASE read
it and tell me what type is is and whether it belongs here.
evolved AI being (e) - usually begin as man-made devices
which then develop intelligence on their own (_Valentina_).
