I'm reading Speaker for the Dead by Orson
Scott Card. I'm finding the IA character "Jane" interesting because Jane
emerged, Jane was not created. It seems Card thinks IA will emerge as human
intelligence emerged.
" Jane first found herself between the stars, her
thoughts playing among the vibrations of the philotic strands of the ansible
net. The computers of the Hundred Worlds were hands and feet, eyes and ears to
her. She spoke every language that had ever been committed to computers and read
every book in every library on every world."
Card consistently treats Jane not as a tool or
device but as a character and he describes as Jane has feelings that shape her
relations to the information she gathers and processes. In the book we read as
Jane uses the extraordinary communication power of the ansible to scan universes
of information and quickly respond to every need.
The chapter "Jane" is a good explanations of superhuman life of this IA. If
you read that chapter, do you think it is something close to your
projects?
I know Jane character follows during the next two
books: Xenocide and Children of the Mind, but I have not read them, and I don't know how
Card imagines the continuation of "his" IA.
By the way, do you know some work on SF'
IAs?
