Synopsis "AI"

Most stories about artificial intelligence assume that sooner or later, the machine will want something from us — or want to destroy us.Why should it?AI: Waiting for God takes one of science fiction's favourite fears and turns it around. What if an extraordinary intelligence had no reason to threaten us, rescue us or even pay attention?The machine is a mystery. Humanity's response is rather easier to recognise. Faced with something it cannot explain, it starts producing answers anyway. And then goes to astonishing lengths to make the world behave as though those answers were facts.While scientists are still arguing over whether it's alive or just software, governments are taking sides, religions are forming around it and somebody has already decided they speak for the machine. None of this even requires the machine to be conscious in the first place.Humanity might be so preoccupied with discovering what the machine wants that it fails to pay enough attention to what it's telling the machine to do.Part speculative fiction, part satirical argument, this is a dryly funny exploration of intelligence, consciousness and just how much can happen when humanity mistakes certainty for understanding.It takes serious questions seriously, without extending the same courtesy to every human attempt to answer them.
