Artificial intelligence has become a hot topic in science fiction. But how can we truly understand what AI is? For writers that don't have a science background but love writing science fiction, this topic can be hard. Surely you can write a futuristic novel without a form of vast technology. However, this normally propels the reader into the dystopian genre.
You would think in the future we would have some for of grasp on AI. Perhaps there will be an advancement in technology?
When writing a story that includes/centralized around AI you will need some basic understandings of the principle.

Basics of AI
Artificial intelligence describes human behavior in man made machinery.
AI is categorized in 2 different ways: functionality and capability.
Functionality-->
- Reactive Machine--> lacks to ability to remember past actions
- Limited Theory--> has memory that allows it to learn from past information, therefore giving it the ability to make better decisions
- Theory of Mind--> a continuous growth of mind that is parallel to the human thought
- Self-aware AI--> hypothetically this AI can understand and evoke human emotion
Capability-->
- Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)--> system that can conduct basic tasks, this AI has a limited memory and is reactive
- Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)--> able to learn, train, understand, and conduct human-like tasks
- Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)--> real world examples have yet to be created, but this refers to when AI can perform tasks better than humans
Fun fact: AI is currently utilized in businesses and organizations.
AI is constantly learning, evolving, and improving.
Some of the most used AI tasks include:
- Computer vision--> where they take information from photos
- Speech and Natural Language Processing
- Understanding Natural Language
- Robotics
- Learning other machines
AI is rule based and example based.
- Rule based uses algorithms to instruct the computer on the steps to create an end goal.
- Example based utilizes data to create models.
Common AI Questions
Q. What is the future of AI?
A. Artificial intelligence greatly impacts today's world. From holding and understanding massive amounts of data to cancer research AI has assisted with innovation. AI has even helped with space exploration.
Space exploration and AI tend to go hand-in-hand in the sci-fi genre. However, the daily availability AI will serve as a better grounding for us to understand its potential in more current writing.
